Parking on the pavement

What if the driver of one of those cars doesn't notice the vaseline on the mirror. They then pull away and go to turn right at the end of a road, they don't see the cyclist or motorcyclist approaching them from behind and overtaking them (because their mirror is cloudy because of a certain person). They then collide with that cyclist as they pass and kill them. You will have been largely responsible for structuring the circumstances of that situation. You will have ki11ed somebody. Your inability to think outside of the box and consider the consequences for anyone, of your actions, is a worry. You are personally making the roads just a little bit more dangerous. Well done !

I should try the vaseline idea. I do a paper round and always have to leave the trolley in the road.

puting vaseline on car mirrors - how petty!

really,

if you did that to mine I would whoop your ass!

cry me a river then build a bridge to get over it!

Annoyed, they should greatly reduce car tax for cars that don't park on the street overnight, and greatly increase it for those that do, then there would be more of an effort to make a driveway, or actually use the one that they have, this in turn would reduce accidents as there would be less obstructions on the road, and also reduce some journey times.

Love the vaseline idea! So naughty, and yet, perfect.

Get all the cars off the bloody pavement. Roads are for driving & parking on, pavements are for walking on. Two weeks ago I was walking on the pavement with my 9 year old nephew when some complete ar*ehole in a green Vauxhall Corsa (old model) was driving on it & got so close he nearly ran me over the f**king moron. He got 'the finger' for it . Haven't seen him since but there's no way i'm moving for a car driving on the pavement!

This applies to specific roads I would have thought for example the pavement outside my mothers house is so wide you could probably park two cars on it still with room to walk through with a double pram....I would ratherr see this than have the cars park on the road causing an obstruction and causing delays on a busy route into the town centre. In my avenue its so small only one car can drive up or down it and so every car has to park half on the pavement & half off it, I have even took to parking like this rather than using my drive as when I do it takes me half an hour to establish which idiot has blocked me in my drive.

A very Intelligent Letter SJB+L.I could not agree more.I unfortunately Live in a part of town where there are no parking attendants to enforce the1992 road Traffic act.People park as close to their front doors as they possibly can.

How annoying why do you people assume its your right to smugly vandalise other peoples property?!

Why dont the local council do something about idiots parking on pavements !? Pavements are for pedestrians, would they like it if we walked accross the road ,and they had to drive round us ?
our next door neighbour never puts his car on the drive, only her car is on it >They have two parking spaces on the drive, its just selfish! They also put their bin on the pavement too. You have to squeeze past them, most annoying !
What the council could do , is paint "no parking ,strictly for pedestrians only" on pavements !If they still park on them, give them an heavy fine !

I think it is unacceptable to cause an obstruction on the pavement, but, as a motorcyclist, I feel that it should be acceptable to park a motorcycle on a pavement in an unobtrusive way, but I would only do this because there are always vans and lorries loading in the motorcycle bays or if the bay was full of other motorcycles. I mean, if there is plenty of room for pedestrians, why not alleviate cramped parking bays??
Also in response to "think" I feel it is ok for police to park on a pavement in an emergency, and only in an emergency. For example not to do their shopping or grab a bite to eat
