Roadside parking.

Imagine a pedantic traffic warden. At what point is he within his right to lawfully administer a parking ticket?

Examples assume the rear of the car under scrutiny.

1) Body overhanging the line eg. Boot. With whole rear wheel clearly within the line.

2) Rear wheel trailing edge perpendicular to the line

3) Bottom centre of rear wheel perpendicular to the line?

In simple terms, does the whole car need to be within the l8nes or just the wheels? If wheels, what portion of the wheel?

Im sure the highway code says something about it but the online version has proved fruitless.
