Yes, it is permissible to do that but it tends to happen on quieter roads.
The deterrent to doing it on busier roads is that it is a pain in the arse trying to pull out across one lane of traffic coming towards you before joining your 'own' lane.
There's a convenience store a few minutes walk from here that attracts a lot of early morning trade. You can see a couple of cars which are parked 'against the traffic'. On dark winter mornings, drivers who are in a hurry leave their headlights on while they dash in to buy a newspaper or sandwich. Unfortunately, the beam from the headlights is then directed towards oncoming vehicles which is hazardous.
It's a question of the lights being bright but the drivers being dim.
