Pavement parking may get banned - hopefully

[mattylad]

It never is, preventing people parking will make it even more unfair.
People with drives need to use them and stop using the streets to park on.

It may work in some areas but in others it will make matters worse.
Education is needed, not a new law that will be ignored.

Do you think education will work, when so many drivers already ignore common sense? I don't, when the yellow lines appeared on my street, they still ignored them, until a few tickets were issued and word got out.

Disabled badge here

I would wait until they left and be out with my garage sized jack, or my winch, to run it out onto the public road - it then becomes not my problem any longer.

So not so disabled then...

A blue badge fraudster!

Oh, and it would be your problem because that is criminal damage and blocking the Queen's Highway...

In the past, I once had a car abandoned blocking my drive - a quick call to the local police shop and land rover turned up ten minutes latter to drag it away. It left a neat pair of rubber marks on the road, which lasted for months.

That is another matter...

You can get a car removed if it stops you going onto said Queen's Highway, but not if you return to find a car blocking your driveway.

Should this come to pass, who do you think it would affect most?

Oh that's right the less well off rather than those who can afford a house with a driveway...

But those less well off people now include teachers, firemen, police, nurses and just about every vital public service worker that we can't live without...

So where will they park their cars, which are vital to get them to work at all hours in order to make Harry's life a lot easier?

HOW DARE YOU!

I let you out of the box I put you in long ago, originally for the absolute rubbish you type - just to respond to your ridiculous accusations....

No I am not a fraudster, far from I have one totally failed kidney, one almost useless one, diabetic, plus other issues. I have to have monthly injections, then bi-annual intravenous iron, just to be able to function at all Yes, I can sometimes walk, sometimes walk not very far without collapsing, so I have to always carefully consider which days I am up to the task of walking. The point I was making was that if I am willing to walk, why do people insist they have to park so close to entrances?

To get the badge, a long detailed application has to completed, then you have to attend and pass a tribunal to confirm my issues in person, plus they also check with my own doctor and my renal consultant.

Unfortunately, I find the modern world is inhabited by brainless Neanderthals like you, so back in the box you go. Now FO and die...

Ooh...

I've certainly touched a nerve

I do find that happens when how shall we say it, a flaw in an argument is pointed out...

So where do those nurses for example park when they are living in a place without space for 7 cars, or probably not even one?

Especially as they often have to work unsociable hours when public transport isn't working and need their car...

In order to treat you!

Of course that was a far too tricky question for you to answer hence that last line of yours...

Have a nice life
