HiAlan,

There are places where parking with wheels on the footpath is allowed ... the signs say so ... but they change sides alternate days.

I disagree with anybody having rights over other road users. It leads to the believe that they are invincible.

My mate remonstrated with a pedestrian with an apparent death wish

"You are the one with the murderous weapon"

Was it only last year that a lady cyclist appeared from behind a high fence, crossed the pavement at about 15- 20mph ... and sat on the front bumper of my Freelander. She apologised!  I was about to stop on the dotted white line, so was scarcely moving.My neighbours say they have had similar experiences on the same corner. I suggested to my Councillor that railings would help.

.... and there's your problem - no insurance, no responsibility. Near impossible to claim for damage caused.
