I always thought that pavements were for pedestrians and roads were for cars.

People who park their cars on pavements should be fined, no ifs, no buts, no maybes, no excuses, they then might think twice next time.

I for one am sick and tired of having to walk in the road and dodge traffic just to get past them and if you say anything to the driver you are met with a mouthful of abuse.
