Would leaving them on, for say 12 hours, discharge the battery significantly ? Anyone done this ?

In some European cities, this is a local law/ordinance.

Narrow streets in Yurrup and people park wherever they can. Sometimes part way into street.

If the roads in the UK were as wide as they are in the US then the entire island would be completely paved! It amazes me how accomodating folks are in the ROW are about sharing lanes and passing on narrow roads. It is no big deal, of course they don't have duallys over there either. In the states people act like they own the lane they are in and have no obligation to share it with you if you are trying to give someone on the side of the road a little room.

Yes, I was amazed by the "3d lane" on 2 lane roads in Italy. You just pull out to pass, the passee pulls to right and any oncoming traffic does the same.
No gestures, fingers or angry flashing of lights and horns.
