Default Block the Pavement, Complain About a Ticket..

Never in the field of human transportation, has so much self-entitlement,
been expressed by so many, with such little justification.

And apparently they can park on the pavement without ever driving on/along it - a miracle.

Of course. Haven't you seen 'Back to the Future V'? The cars elevate and
then come back down on the pavement, without actually having driven on
them.

Didn't that slobbering spastic David Lang try to claim that they don't
drive on the pavement?

Has someone gutted that stupid **** with a lock knife yet?

They seem to be ignoring the fact that the pavement is part of the
highway. If they got a Smart car they could park on their yard without
blocking the 18 inches of pavement adjacent to it.

What pavement (I assume you mean footway, since "pavement" is a
meaningless term in traffic legislation)?

See?

You're feeling better already.

Try a triple Drambuie next if you can afford it.

They were not booked for obstructing the 'pavement'

If they had parked like the car behind, they would probably fit the car
on their own land.
