It's Bradford, things like tread on clapped out vans is not important
Edit: the MOT History shows that the Sprinter is just about ready for Scrapping
Edit 2: Being Bradford it'll still have about 5 years use in it!

You need a trolley with spikes on the axle ends, like in Ben Hur.

Thankfully that van had gone by the time I went out, saving the angst of whether to do something to it or not. I bet the driver had left the passenger side wing mirror out, but the photo doesn't show whether or not he did. If the van had been there, complete with wing mirror making the gap even narrower, I'd have belted it with my walking stick, or pushed it forward to get past it!🧐

And yet again, an illegal number plate n0bber parked like a tw#t. FFS can we have some enforcement of driving & parking laws in this country. The fines would clear the national debt in no time

I'll say. Quite a few minor junctions around me, totally blocked with cars parked right around the junction. If they were each charged £100 and 3 points, it would be very profitable. Not to mention the ones parked on pavements

Should happen more often. I cycled that road the day before, and a lot of it had effectively been turned into a single lane road due to vehicles "parked" half on the verges.

I'd be interested to hear your views, as "no words" doesn't tell me what you think!
My thoughts: There doesn't look to be much space on that pavement to fit a wheelchair through. Secondly, if you buy or rent a house with limited spaces, that's on you, and doesn't then justify parking on a pavement partially obscuring someone else's driveway. Thirdly, the driveway owner has little recourse because that's not a dropped curb (I wonder if they even got permission to drive their car across the pavement to access their driveway? Maybe I missed that).
I have similar issues with my tenant and their neighbour who are both as bad as each other. There is space between the houses, on the road, for 2.5 cars. The curb is not dropped. They both think that they have a right to park outside their house, on the public highway. I have informed them that there is no ownership attached to or associated with the road, you can park there if not obstructing the road or the pavement. But they still do things like move their cars 6 inches when the other is out, just to be awkward
