Riding on the pavement

Some Fella, January 18, 2013

So Cambridge police send plain clothes officers to nab cyclists who ride on the pavement and yet in this instance when selfish pricks driving their big stupid cars on the pavement outside a school it becomes "a matter for the schools and traffic wardens".
The idiots are winning.

We have a similar situation at my kids school with congestion, luckily its not possible to drive on the pavement though. No matter how many times the school sends out letters and writes information on the website with regard to where to park when collecting kids some parents take no notice and park as close as they can, it only takes one or two cars to park in the wrong place to cause chaos and lots of angry drivers who aren't picking up kids. I'm not advocating their actions but I can see how things like this happen. It's the same mindset as people who park in disabled bays who aren't disabled, f**k you jack I'm alright, screw everyone else.
