Pavement motorist injures woman.
It could so easily have been a cyclist victim and it clearly shows that
pavements are not that much safer than roads. "Man arrested after woman hit by car in Bedminster A woman in her 20s has been injured after a car came off the road and onto the pavement in Bristol. Emergency services were called to Cannon Road, in the Bedminster area of the city, at 13:15 BST on Sunday. An Avon and Somerset Police spokesman said the area had been cordoned off while officers investigated the scene. "The woman's injuries are not thought to be life threatening. A man, also in his 20s, was arrested in connection," the force spokesman added." http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-bristol-14872478 -- .

Cars may not seem dangerous when they are parked on pavements but they only have to move a short distance slowly to be able to kill someone easily, and sometimes they do. Of course, cars crashing on pavements and damaging buildings, which they often do, are much more lethally dangerous than bicycles being ridden on pavements.

I regard an injury caused by someone deliberately taking an action as being more serious than an injury caused by someone accidentally taking an action: Just the same as any reasonable man and the law. You forget, motorists intentionally drive onto a pavement in order to park there, during which they pose a risk to pavement users. Sometimes motorists also have to drive along the pavement to a parking place. It can also be argued that the moment a driver climbs into his car and drives off there is intent to use a highly dangerous machine in public places, thus posing a risk to others and especially when there is loss of control of that machine. -- .
