We've all probably had that experience of a vehicle in the cycle lane....This must take the biscuit:

PRAT or words to that effect.

Yeah, not surprised. Physical impossibility doesn't stop them trying cycleways as shortcuts here either.

Is it a road tax dodge?

I spotted a public footpath in Todmorden, totally blocked by this parked car ...

Yes, but have never heard of it being a topic on a tv news programme in the UK!
It's good to hear that in Chicago such wrongdoings create waves in the media.

Surprising how just a light passing brush can dislodge a car wing mirror .

It's true.

Unfortunately, apparently, the death penalty applies for that transgression ...

(A grim event that took place about a mile from where I grew up.)

The only problem the driver has is s/he did not put a "Footpath Closed" sign up. If that was roadworks which had closed the footpath, then putting up a "Footpath Closed" and a "Sorry for inconvenience" sign is supposed to be ok.

All of the local streetlamps were being replaced by modern LED ones and the new posts had barriers round them until the crews came back to finish the foundations after they had been wired up. The footpath was not closed!

I have put a sign on the back of my car proclaiming Footpath Closed. Now I can park my car wherever I like, legally.

On the dashboard of my car I have various notes such as Doctor, Getting Cakes, I'll move soon be patient, Fire Marshall, FBI.

Gotcha. Eventually!

There is a barbers across the road with a free car park near to it. I bet that someone drove down for a hair cut, could not find a vacant place, and thought it would be fine to block the path for 30 minutes or so!

The surrounding streets do not have yellow lines so a quick drive round the block would have located a legitimate spot but that could have meant a 50 metre walk!

There are some incredibly 'special' drivers about - by the number that get stuck on tram lines in Greater Manchester.

Looking at the news item, on wonders if the driver questioned their apparent addiction to car usage if you have to drive into a segregated lane, what does that tell you?.
