It's already "banned" in Scotland but it is not being enforced what so ever.
I've personally no sympathy. It has been allowed to happen over previous decades as people buy more and more cars and it is at a point now where they cannot just blanket ban it and enforce such a thing. It's too far gone and people are far too entitled.
Our society is way too car focused and everything revolves around accommodating people and their massive chunks of metal. If you park your car up on a pavement at all then I've honestly no sympathy. I don't care if you choose to live somewhere that you think you need to park up on the pavement.... once upon a time that wasn't the case, but now that everyone else and you have a massive chunk of metal you feel it your given right to be able to park there at your door in streets that can't accommodate you and your families 2/3/4 cars. YOU choose to live somewhere like this, nobody forces you to live somewhere that you can't park a car(s) and nobody forces you to "need" to have 2/3/4 cars.
Clogging up roads all over the place with the things and now clogging up pavements which are for pedestrians, not cars, and still moaning you need more space and accommodation for the things.
I hope they do just blanket this and start whopping £100 fines left, right and centre on people selfish enough to block pavements. I'm personally sick fed up of my girlfriend having to walk on roads around cars with my little boy in the buggy because people have decided they can now just use paths to ditch their motor.
