mr_busdriver Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 It appears that a growing tendency of car drivers believe that they have the right to use part of the pavement when parking their car. This can and does obstruct those who are confined to a wheelchair from using that section of pavement. It obstruct those pushing young children in prams, and can be a means of inflicting injury to pedestrians who catch the cars wing mirror. What is the legal position on this type of parking? and does the cars third party insurance cover those who are injuryed by a wing mirror?

the snowman Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Good or considerate parking is pretty much a thing of the past. Everyone seems to be in such a hurry these days, they abandon there vehicle without much thought as to wether it might be causing an obstruction or double parking I bet most of todays young drivers don't even know the meaning of double parking). And what about pulling up at night on the wrong side of the road, and waiting with headlights on blinding everyone comoing toward them. Oh well, that's my little rant over, I feel better now. I like your comment, double parking is a problem some people dont think about. They also dont realise headlights aim more to the left than the right so not to dazzle oncoming traffic.

Might I ask what injury is likely to be injured by walking into a wing mirror? a brused arm, admitted if the wing mirror clatters your goolies it could be painfull. Why would you want compensation for a brused arm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone letting tyres down would think twice if they had their eye blackened, not that I'm suggesting anything of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raychul69 Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Anyone letting tyres down would think twice if they had their eye blackened, not that I'm suggesting anything of course. I've let tyres down a few times on people who can't park properly and I don't have any black eyes?? It's funny watching from my living room window seeing the frustration on the drivers face when they think they've got a flat so they are late for work after having to change the tyre. That'll teach em to park properly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayneRay Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Mr/Mrs traffic warden would be within their legal right to issue a parking ticket for parking on the pavement. I irrates me when drivers do this especially outside my house as the pavement is narrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendelspans Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 I would rather walk on to the road to get around a vehicle than have it blocking the road for the emergency services. A slight detour and minor inconvenience or the possible loss of someones life, you decide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
