Wow. Parked fully across the pavement AND blocking a crossing. Not access to it, but the ACTUALLY CROSSING. Across tactile paving for visually impaired. Bonus for the badge. Bravo @foxtons, that's top notch shittery. 18 points.

TIL the bit of pavement @foxtons in @CamdenCouncil keeps parking their cars over are called tenji blocks, and they are designed to assist the visually impaired. https://t.co/gBaQacr3HZ

Tripe whammy: pavement, double yellows and (very shitty) cycle lane. Hazards on to excuse it. Bonus for "How's my driving" sticker. 11 points.

@stuarthelmer "Today we've got Stuart Helmer here to talk about the problems of pavement parking, which the government will launch a consultation about. Stuart, is pavement parking bad?"
"Yes, an..."
"Thanks Stuart. Weather with Danny now!"

More talk. More consultation. More inaction. https://t.co/m1zJQHt1QC

Key points:

- It’s not ok for drivers to prioritise their convenience over convenience and safety of pedestrians
- You have to get a permit to put a skip in the street - why is this different
- Need to stop car-blind free-for-all

Anything else? Will only be a min or two

@RobBryher A £9 kebab?

Chancellor announcing he is *continuing* the fuel duty freeze: it has cost the Treasury more than £50bn since 2011, while rail fares increase and bus ridership falls, road congestion rises, and an extra 5 million tonnes of CO2 and 15,000 tonnes of NOx emissions

Cars get everywhere. If you look closely, there is a blue car parked on top of this river.

@PippinDrill @RobBryher @MarvinJRees That blue car had a close call...

I don't understand . As usual, I invite an explanation from experts because I am NOT an expert. But shouldn't as many people as possible be tested - especially people with a known contact - but also random tests - to establish precisely what is happening in the population?

Parking in the bike lane and dooring a cyclist, but points taken away because they're obviously just alerting cyclists to the fact that the cycle lane has been replaced by a lake. 5 points.

TFW illegally parking on a red route/cycle lane isn't quite dangerous *enough*

[Moira and District Bicycle User Group @madbug_ni]

For how much longer can the world keep filling up with more and more cars? Cars that sit here all day often blocking the footpath. We NEED to get out of our cars for these shorter journeys. The bicycle is amazing, and once you get into the habit you’ll never look back!

[Rate My Pavement Parker @PavementParker]

Great positioning. On an angle to ensure maximum blockage. No way to get past without going into the road. Bonus point for the extra obstacle of the lampost. 12 points.

(Thanks to spotter @rant_rate)

Nice angled parking. Is BMW break my windshield? @DublinCommuters @dublinblockers

@MolochZv2 @righttobikeit So it's cool for cyclists to slow down and pass a vulnerable traveller in their path safely, but not drivers?

Fully on pavement. Technically not on the yellows. Bonus points for idling, super-important car and cracked tactile slabs thanks to drivers like this. 9 points.
