Default Why are pavements not gritted?


Serious question.

Pedestrians pay the same Council Tax as motorists yet footways are not gritted. Why?
I dropped my car off for it's annual service/MOT on Friday and walked to the station. I walked in the road because the pavement was icy and at least 10 'law abiding' divers tried to murder me. I was not in their way but they seemed to think deliberately aiming 1.5 tonnes of metal at someone is acceptable behaviour.
