Driving is a valuable skill which can be used throughout your life - but it comes with many rules and regulations which must be followed.
Most of these rules, such as giving way to emergency services vehicles and not driving under the influence of alcohol, are pretty well-known, Liverpool Echo reports.
However, some are quite obscure and can see people being given a big fine or getting points added to their licence.
One offence in particular can see vehicle owners receive a fine of almost £100.
According to the law, parking at night without leaving your side lights, or parking lights, on is illegal in certain circumstances.
Tim Alcock, of LeaseVan.co.uk, said: “Vehicle owners across the country could be breaking the law simply by parking their vehicles and not even realise it."

Vehicles parked on a road with a speed limit of more than 30mph, facing away from the traffic or outside a designated parking area should have their side lights left on overnight.
Side lights can be found in the front corners of your car and by the number plate.
You must ensure these lights are unobscured.
These lights can help to prevent a nasty and potentially serious collision, as they help others to see your vehicle when it's dark.
This rule also applies to drivers parking on any road that is foggy.
Some authorities do tend to take a common sense approach to this rule.
However, failure to follow this regulation can see drivers given a Fixed Charge Notice of up to £75, so it's always best to follow the rules.
In the vast majority of cars, you can turn your sidelights on with the same control as your headlights.
The parking lights symbol is usually two small semi-circles facing in opposite directions. Each has three lines coming from them.
Many drivers might fear the lights will run down their car battery, however, side lights aren't as powerful as head lights, which are used when visibility is seriously reduced.
They operate on a low wattage and are designed to be able to withstand being left on for long periods, such as overnight.
Remember, you don't need to leave your side lights on if the road has a speed limit of 30mph or less, your spot is a recognised parking bay and you're facing the direction of the traffic flow.
Other obscure driving rules to look out for include keeping your number plate clean and not using the horn whilst a vehicle is stationary.
