It is an offence to park on the pavement. Here is an amusing story. A friend lives beside a busy dual carriageway with a very wide pavement. It is usual for people to park on that pavement to aviod causing an obstruction to the road, the pavement is so wide that it will easily accommadate a pram as well. His daughter aquired a new boy friend who lived on a nearby "problem" estate. One evening when he took the girl home by car he was followed by a police car, when he parked on the pavement he was imediately booked. My friend phoned the police to complain, and insisted that they sent someone arround to deal with the matter. When an inspector arrived he said that as the paperwork was done the prosecution would have to go through. My friend had sent his son out to photograph the inspectors car. The case was dropped, work out why! :-) He also gave a copy of the photograph to all the local residents. Cheers John T An even more amusing Fact: At present it is unlawful to drive on the pavement, but most magistrates do not accept a pavement-parked vehicle as proof that it has been driven there! http://www.eta.co.uk/tr/pj/peds/pave.htm Steve R --- One piece, one button suit, timeless fashion.
