This appears to be one, but I can't get the photo sharply enough into focus to distinguish the regnal number. Does it count?

OK then, find a section of road in the UK where traffic is required to drive on the right (in both directions).

Savoy Court, outside the Savoy Hotel.
Not strictly Street View, but find me a plane in the air on Satellite view.

I believe anyone can start a new one...
Find me a car sideways on a road.
(Specifically, it should be turned roughly 90 degrees to the usual direction of travel and not be just emerging from a side road.)

I believe so as well, but the rules specifically say that the person setting the puzzle must have found an example themselves. Could the Orange One please come forward?

I had a clear example, but when they updated Google Street View, they got rid of it. There's also this one - but I don't know if it's police tape or some other tape.

I don't even know how to get Street View up on that location.

How about an easier one to maybe garner interest. A London Taxi that isn't black.
