Do you ever use your parking lights?

Do you ever uses your directional parking lights? If so, what country do you live in?

I voted Yes...and live in the umm...USA. Hard to explain the circumstances, but pretty much when I feel that it might actually help in avoiding a collision. For example if I was in the first parking spot immediatedly to either side of a lot entrance.

I never bend the side mirrors in though, when street parking, as I've seen some people do.

I didn't even know what these were until I couldn't figure out why my Touareg was beeping at me like the lights were on when they weren't. Turns out the turn signal was engaged that the parking lights were on. Had to go to the Touareg forum to figure out why. Guess i'm just not cultured, but I never use them.

A Twaarg will beep at you if you're breathing wrong!
