"A female pedestrian in her seventies has been killed and another has
been seriously injured after a car hit a shop in north Wales.
North Wales Police say the two unnamed local women were involved in a
collision with a blue Jaguar car in Rhos on Sea at about 15:36 BST.
The male car driver, also local, was taken to hospital but his
injuries were not thought to be serious. [ ... ]

* The car was not driving on the pavement, it can clearly be seen
firmly stuffed into the wall at an acute angle which indicates it was
not driving along the pavement, it crossed directly from the road to
the shop front.
Hardly an incidence of pavement driving just an unfortunate accident.

The fact that the motorist strayed onto the pavement and killed
someone there is enough.


"Enough" for what?

Obviously, for the label 'pavement motorist'. In this case the car was
also travelling at speed across the pavement. It is plain that this is
all it takes for a motorist to kill someone on a pavement.

A driving licence is sometimes a licence to kill.
