Quick question about parking

[the_lone_wolf]

Hi all

Not my usual section but having done a fair few miles in the last few months I see a lot of trucks parked up in laybys and the like...

I've noticed that more often than not, the artics won't be parked straight, but will have some left steering lock on and also the articulation points the cab into the verge relative to the trailer

I always wonder if there's any reason for this? To stop lights reflecting off the wing mirror into the cabin? So that if they get rear ended the truck will naturally turn into the verge and not the carriageway perhaps?

Or maybe it's just the natural position a truck ends up in after parking up?

Thanks all, that settles a question...
