rogets Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I think it's about time that the authorities did something about people who own cars, the ones who think it is right to park on the pavement You see cars with 2 wheels on the pavements and this can cause a serious hazard to pedestrians. A pedestrian could walk into a car and sustain a serious injury and cars on pavements can cause tripping hazards I for one am sick to death of car owners who think it is there god given right to behave as they wish without considering people around them and the hazards that their actions cause others Surely a £100 fine could be the thing to deter people from doing this? I could make a start by issuing red cards and placing them on the windscreen of offending cars Its not much but its at least a start What do others think about offending cars and their selfish owners?

Farslad Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I see women with pushchairs/prams having to go onto a busy road near me because they can't get by on the pavement due to parked cars. Some selfish self centred folk about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DnAuK Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I see women with pushchairs/prams having to go onto a busy road near me because they can't get by on the pavement due to parked cars. Some selfish self centred folk about. On the other hand... Some roads (like the one I live on) are too narrow for large vehicles to pass if cars do not park on the pavement. Therefore if there was an emergency (such as a house on fire further up the road, which has only one entrance) then a fire engine could not get through. We have already experienced similar with lack of bin collections and deliveries for example. But obviously, inconveniencing somewhere with a pushchair is much more serious than, oh, saving someone's life for example. And for the record I have a drive so don't park on the street. I'm just saying that I can see reasons it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheffscott Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Whats the difference between "legal action" and "serious legal action" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geared Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 They don't bother enforcing the parking restrictions outside of many schools, it's a total free-for-all when they kick out. So I can't see them ticketing cars on pavements any time soon. (and yes it is annoying, someone near me manages to get their entire car on the pavement, leaving very little room to squeeze past) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonJeremy Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Whats the difference between "legal action" and "serious legal action" one is serious, the other by implication, trivial legal action? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
