Parking on the pavement

Car parking

It is a pity the traffic wardens are not sent away from the main shopping centres sometimes to help stop this happening. I’m sure that after a few parking tickets the constant offenders would soon stop!



People who are guilty of parking on the pavements! This drives me totally insane. Why do these idiots think that the safety of their precious cars is more important than people’s right to walk safely?

20-9-2009 Get all the cars off the bloody pavement. Roads are for driving & parking on, pavements are for walking on.
