Couldn't have put it better myself Marion...lol

Cause they are selfish, thoughtless pig's...that's why lol

Hi All - Still the question - "Why the Heck do they do it" ?????? John.

Nice - but not a b,,,,tch.. lol

Excused Mary ..lol John

I had the same problem with a parked transit van..not only was it half parked on the pavement but close to a corner which lead onto a main bus route, this was my route to my nearest shops and it was a hazard.The van belonged to the householder so it was parked there early morning, evenings and during the weekends.
I spoke to this gentleman! who gave me a mouthful of abusive language, I in turn reported parked vehicle to the local council who in turn acted immediately...
end of story being: van no longer there but I still get the odd sneer if this gentleman! happens to see me... as if I care.

mary know where your coming from on that... im right by a village with the same sort of thing and yes it is very annoying when someone parks opposite another parked car grrrrrrrr

I AGREE BUT ROAD TOO NARROW FOR EMERGENCY SERVICES

Ooooh dear! You're going to hate me for this, but where I live the road and houses were built in the 1920/30's. The road itself is narrow, literally just wide enough for 2 cars, and the pavements are very wide. Everyone here has to park half on the road, half on the pavement - but as I say the pavements are very wide - wide enough for a double buggy to get past a parked car!
So, around here we get incenced when someone (usually a non resident) parks wholely on the road, always opposite another parked car and completely stops all the traffic!

What a suprise lol
i gone now def ~ Bye John
~~all

We have someone who owns a takeaway & constantly parks on the pavement blocking the dropped curb. All attempts to get this stopped via the police & traffic wardens have failed.

Now if the pavement is blocked, Mum goes into the takaway & the staff come out to carry Dad (who's no fly weight) & his heavy motorised wheelchair around the vehicle.

Hello WC...here we are again lol

Colin~~

Well said John, makes my blood boil to Oh disabled to car block pavement there was no drop kerb OH had to go back on himself to get me over the road in wheelchair sooooooooo angry i could have easily rung his neck not a teen he was around 35/40

Cars on pavements = undercover of darkness a superglued polite notice on the windscreen asking them not to...very satisfying (or so I would think)

A good nudge or a scratch....I'd get caught doing it though lol

That's another moan Colin, trying, as a pedestrian, to work out which way the car is going to turn, no indicators so you carry on walking across, then 'whoops' - 'Nearly got ya that time mate'!!!!!! John.

colin taxi drivers are the worst for doing that...well here anyway lol

Mind you Marion, there have been times when squeezing between car and wall or car and bushes, just to give the 'wing mirror' a "nudge".. But, as, Wild Cat said - "Don't get wound-up about it"...

Our police have said parking on the pavement in itself is not ilegal, causing an obstruction is and driving on the pavement is but not parking (how you get to park on the pavement without driving on it I dont know). But then the police dont make the laws the idiots in Whitehall do. But parking on pavements fade into insiginficance in my book, my gripe is folk who think the little orange twinkly things (commonly known as indicators) are there for decoration or are a 'I can park on double yellow lines providing boph are flashing simultaniously (known as hazard lights) permit and dont need to be used when intending to change direction or exit a roundabout
