AIBU To expect cars to park on the road?

I know someone who likes to leave notes on cars which are badly parked. The note she leaves on those parked on the pavement outside her house says "Sorry I scratched your car trying to get by" On occasion she has seen the owners come back and watched as they spent several minutes trying to find the non-existent scratch.

Yes, it's dreadful to negotiate narrow pavements with buggies, wheelchairs of if you are blind. A friend who is a guide dog puppy carer photographs cars parked on the pavement and leaves notes for the drivers.

The difficulty of course, is that in so many areas, the roads aren't wide enough to allow parking either side. I parked outside a shop locally and came out to find my wing mirror on the road (again). I try and avoid parking half on the pavement because it's wrong to block them. I'm lucky, at home we have a driveway so our cars don't get damaged and we don't block the road. Totally different 50 yards down where it's all terraced houses.

I always thought it was illegal,we have a Road near to us where parking on the pavement seems to be the norm and you have to walk into the Road to pass,the owners of the houses complain that with the Road being so narrow they have to park that way.

Many years ago I had a blind colleague who used to charge about town using a long cane for his mobility.
He was always encountering cars on pavements Apart from the language used he used to give them a whack with his cane and threaten to climb over any car in his way. I don't know if he did. It would not surprise me, he got up to all sorts.
Some colleagues once took him for a drive on an empty road somewhere with them being his eyes and helping him steer.

I wish it was illegal- it is very selfish and thoughtless.

It happens here too when people are visiting the pub. Just a thought ........ if we rattled the car/tried to open the doors etc would the car alarm go off ? I have so wanted to push past with the pushchair and leave a big scratch down the side but so far have not had the courage but setting the car alarm off ...............................!!

Read somewhere that is illegal in some counties and not others.
There used to be an old lady around here ( dead now ) that used to bend the cars windscreen wipers if they were parked on the pavement!

Happens round here too I had to stand and wait while a neighbour reversed along the pavement yesterday then walk onto the road and round his car

Cherry you must live near me! More cars on the pavements than on the road!
