    GREAT TO SEE! :-)

    Police have warned drivers ‘pavements are for pedestrians’ after issuing a £50 fine.

    South Lakes Police shared a photograph of a car parked on the pavement in Low Newton.

    The post reminded drivers that ‘pavements are for pedestrians’ and that there are consequences for obstructing the dedicated walking space.

    Outside London, only if there is a local by-law to that effect.

    Police said there was no room for a wheelchair or pushchair and asked drivers to ‘please be more considerate’.

    The driver received a £50 fine for parking their vehicle on the side of the road.

    ...as distinct from "parking on the pavement" (the word used by
    chav-cyclists for the FOOTway).

    Double yellow lines?

    Where ought he to have stopped?

    Up against the kerb, waiting for a typical chav on a chav-bike to run
    into the back of the car at full speed?
