This isn’t a general gripe about parking outside Ryleys School at peak times. It isn’t to complain about the cars that park on the no parking yellow hatched areas of the road, nor is it a moan about what was once nice grass by the lay- by that is now a furrowed mid bath!
It’s not a moan about the large black limo with a muscle chauffeur that blocks the pull in outside the school while daddy deposits child resulting in more parents blocking the main highway.
No what I am writing about is he use of the pavement as a highway. Twice this morning while walking into the village a car mounted the kerb swung across the pavement partly across the grass area beyond the pavements and drove along the pavement a short distance and ‘parked’.
It’s dangerous, illegal and will one day result inan accident. How are blind people with guide dogs or the disabled in wheelchairs coping, thankfully not many to my knowledge use that path.
My one consolation is that if I am knocked down it won’t be a common a garden vehicle but something expensive, an Overfinch for example.
Rant over, fingers crossed nobody is hurt either by a wild car itself or by being forced off the pavement into the road.
