Legalised Parking on the pavement

They can go wherever they like - on the pavement on the other side or the road - most seem to prefer the roads though as already discussed ^

You know what they say about opinions

You have had no real experience of motorcycing, or 4x4 ownership, but that never stops you from trying to dictate to those who do

Ahem.

4x4 or motorbike use is a choice.
Wheelchair use is rarely a choice.

I've got a spare shovel if you want to keep digging your own grave.

Being a control freak is entirely different to actually controlling the actions of others. One is a psychological problem, the other functioning with a bit of authority.
I can differentiate between the two, and happily the former doesn't float my boat - I say live and let live, what say you ? - You have the right to remain silent

WTF is he on about? Is he ever going to write anything that makes any sense?

No. I reckon successive incarnations of "Linf" are attempts at the Turing Test. Eventually they all fail.

What dreadful control you must have of your 4x4. I need about 18 inches each end - only just enough room for a pedestrian, unecumbered by such a frippery as a pushchair or a wheelchair.

I too only needed about 18 inches room , and have done it with a lot less on several occasions , to get my 4x4 out of a end to end space

I on the hand, am fricking useless at parking, yet i have an extraordinarily large penis.

Go figure?

on your head or in a display cabinet like a trophy

some of us have both attributes great at parking etc

Well, yes, I know how to parallel park also, but when the lock is not brilliant (due to the 31" dia tyres), you can end up totally mashing your tyres and steering box working into place so I find it better to avoid the tight spaces where possible

Well you know what they say about monkeys and typewriters.

I suppose in about 2219 he might write a sensible sentence by pressing the wrong keys or something.

Come on Linford, answer that.

You're the self-appointed parking expert.

How can you explain Smeggers' parking penis paradox?

I say...I do believe you've got your dander up. I understand that you can get help for that

[QUOTE 1915406, member: 45"]I do believe that I had to educate you on the physics of counter-steering on a motorcycle, and explain how the emissions on your old exhaust were measured.

But hey, that has nothing to do with our current culture of 2 legs bad, 4 wheels essential...[/quote]

Who says 2 legs are bad ? I walk miles at the weekends around my town. In any case, if you felt they weren't essential, you'd not be running 2 cars yourself would you.

Back to the point in question, pavement parking. Does the roadbed extend under the footpath? If not, who's going to pay for the repairs to the footpath when it fails due to excessive pressure from vehicles?
