2 wheel footpath parking ??

<< < (3/3)

Range Rover Blues:
When I lived in Hayes my housemate worked for the council, apparenlty the pavements aren't rated to carry a vehicle in some places hence it's illegal.  If the pavement has a line on it for parking 2 wheels up the curb you can be fined for going over the line.

Then I remember being told that it your car is hit when parked 2 wheels up the curb you aren't iinsured.

It is illegal but it's become the norm.  I find it damned annoying here because I can't get a pushchair up to the [park without walking in the road, which is a rat-run and narrow because it was built originally as a cul-de-sac.  Most annoying because many of the cars are outside houses with empty drives.

Common practice in the cul-de-sac where I live because it improves access.  No-one has a wheelchair or pushchair so it's not going to upset someone.   

Oh, and I had the Dakar parked like that for most of the time I owned it - including while chatting to the police who were towing away a neighbour's vehicle "for evidence".
