Am I missing something here? Does it say in the Highway Code somewhere where if you put your hazards on, it's ok to drive anywhere like, oh I don't know for example, straight down the paths of a park in central london because you are too fking lazy to go out the exit where you parked and instead decide to drive through the park regardless of the people walking, kids playing and so on?
Mind you at least it's not as bad as those who reverse up slip roads with them on, becuase obviously with your hazards on IT MAKES IT OK TO DO SO.

Don't forget the parking. It's legal to park on double yellows, loading bays, pavements, red routes etc so long as you have the hazard lights on.

Are you sure it wasn't someone doing some work in the park and didn't happen to have a orange flashing light for the top of their vehicle? They could have been working on anything from fixing the playground to chopping the trees.

Unless they were disguised as a silver frontera with cool boxes and picnic blankets in the back whilst being driven by a forty something bald guy who was arguing with his othe rhalf about the fact they had to drive around the band stand as the paths were getting too narrow for them to go down, no biggrin

One of cars doesn't have hazard lights as it's too old (1970 Volvo Amazon).

As a consequence I'm unable to reverse up motorway sliproads or park on double yellow lines etc.

Takes all the fun out of driving, I can tell you.

hehe



This guy found out that if you park on zig zag lines on the pavement at the world's most famous pedestrian crossing a ticket will arrive on your windscreen pretty quickly regardless of hazards...

The pic doesnt show it but he did have his hazards on

You being on PH, I assume you're well built, goatee sporting, head shaven pillar of our society, which beggars the question why did you not rough the ahole up? hehe

Maybe he was giving the kids some entertainment? Was there a convoy of kids chasing the car down with empty Red Bull cans as missile?
