Re: Pavement Parking
So an illegal maneuver to get into the space, illegally parked the wrong way round and illegal to get out of the space. Where's a parking warden when you actually need one?

They only arrive when they are about to put one on ones own car.

Sounds like a very tough traffic warden, no need for violence, a ticket would suffice

Some of them are incredibly overzealous in my view like the one down here
that prowls the Sainsburys car park in our town centre as you park there and straight away he is looking at our car to see if we have got a displayed ticket.

Is reversing down a one way street (in the correct direction) illegal ?

Re: Pavement Parking
I guess that *would* be legal but I can't see the parkee (is that a word?) would do that.

You MUST NOT reverse your vehicle further than necessary.

Quote:
Reversing on a residential street is of course still permitted within reason, like when parallel parking, but motorists could find themselves in hot water if they drive backwards further than is deemed reasonable.
For example if a driver was to reverse all the way down a street to find a parking space rather than just going round the block, they could face a fine if caught by police.

Re: Pavement Parking
Parking was chaos around my sisters last night, some people parked 1/2 on pavement as if they had parked correctly Fire Engines would have been stuffed and unable to drive done the road and idiots would have moaned, parking as they did was better.
Coming home I was dreading as parking after 5pm is near impossible, luckily there was a space and someone else was scraping their car.

Pavement parking could be banned in England
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-51844446
Good luck with that because enforcement would be the issue. At present the self employed traffic wardens around here are mostly found around town car parking not in the high streets and back streets.

Something has to be done about selfish drivers who block footpaths to wheelchairs, mobility users, blind people and prams/pushchairs. The road is for cars, the pavement for pedestrians. The nation has become car obsessed, multi car households are the issue. Extra enforcement will pay for itself with the amount of fines.

l agree there are some selfish drivers but its no good having a plan if you cannot back it up with manpower on the ground.
