Exactly so.

The OP was well aware that he would not cause danger or inconvenience
to anyone else in that location at that time.
He fell victim to a rule which says that doing something might
possibly be dangerous.
That rule is useful when an inconsiderate person does something which
actually *is* dangerous, but is only really effective when they are
caught.
More commonly, people who take care *not* to be dangerous are
prosecuted under a regulation which is aimed at those who really are
dangerous.
The officer got an easy result.

Whereas he had no idea of how many people would turn up at the crossing
whilst he was in the shop collecting his TV, or if he would be delayed
whilst picking up his TV from the shop or any number of variable. Parking
just a few extra yards away would have caused next to no additional
inconvenience to him and yet kept his safe from points.

How on earth could he *possibly* have been "aware" of that?

Maybe when he parked, in his opinion, it was safe. But what if his
opinion was wrong? And if it was correct, what if the situation changed
20 seconds after he left his car?
This is one of those rules that is there for a very good reason.
