Wow! All I can say that doesn't happen around here in a retirement hot spot full of sheltered housing. Plus what about young mothers with pushchairs having to navigate around selfish drivers? Don't they have rights to the pavements. Aren't the pavements provided for pedestrians? When did they become part of the highway?
Selfish? I think it's drivers who have become selfish.By the way I'm a driver and the only time I park on the double yellow lines in my road is when I'm unloading my shopping and there is no space to park legitimately. I don't park on the pavement and 5 minutes later I've moved. However this is not the case for several of my neighbours across the road which drives me insane because they ALL have rear access to their homes or they have a drive way which I don't.
