Are these cars illegally parked..

on the pavement ?

Strictly speaking, yes of course, but most people turn a blind eye, although if you were blind, or in a largish mobility scooter, you might not be best pleased.

Because there's no driveway?

Because there's no driveway?

why not park at the side of the road but not on the pavement ?

Really? if they parked on the road on both sides it would make the street one way

 

[Bill Walker]

Because they do not wish to have their wing mirrors ripped of with two way traffic
Safer on the pavement.

but illegal and dangerous to blind people

and drunk cyclists

I don't think it is illegal if they are not obstructing the pavement completely.

There are moves to make it an offence, quite rightly as well.

It's also worrying how many of them are facing the wrong way.This is an offence at night.

So the answer is no offence on the pavement but an offence if facing oncoming traffic at night.
