I think Andy has highlighted my point in spades. (give an inch) The problems we motorists face should not be dumped onto the users of a footpath. Quite clearly the area where Andy lives has not had these paths strengthened and once cars park on the footath does it allow free access by pedestrians with prams, or pushchairs? Roads are for cars, footpaths are for pedestrians and contrary to what we might think, unless there are extenuiating circumstances we technically break the law whenever we park on the public highway. (I am NOT suggetsing we should all be reported) it does however strike me as funny that Andy who is very much in the camp of the righteous

(speeding) has finally come out of the closet and confessed to being a law breaker.
A gotcha oscar award to Andy
