Yes, like roads too small for each house to have multiple cars. The answer then is, get used to parking away from your house or have fewer cars or move. Pavements should be protected safe zones. Roads should not be blocked. I know this is a car forum but personal property should not really be purchased if the owner has nowhere to keep it. Simple really.
So only people with off street parking can have cars? See how your simple idea isn't really that simple!!
Not quite..

Get used to parking away from your house
OR
Have fewer cars that fit your offroad parking.
OR
Move

Flip it around - what is your proposal? Park on pavements? Block the road? Or park elsewhere?
The proposal is build practical housing estates with wide enough roads instead of cramming as many properties as possible into the space with one parking space per 3, 4, 5 bed house.
And then wait until 17 yr old kids need to get to work but the bus service is ste and you’ve priced them out of the rental market so they can’t move closer to work.

Solve the problems not the symptoms.

That will make houses even more expensive.

You pay more because you have more amenity. That's generally the way things work.

It's a double edged sword. Rash parking equals parking rash.

This vehicle is accumulating notoriety locally





Few comments questioning it being done on purpose. Now reached a pinnacle with a PH post.

Yes but a grey area if the child is under 10, they are under the age of criminal responsibility, means they cannot be prosecuted or served with a fixed penalty notice.

Even between 10 and 18 they are (unfortunately) treated differently to adults.

Here in the Benelux <8yo or a certain wheel size are allowed on the pavement.

Daughter is away with work this week. She messaged me this morning from her hotel spitting feathers about how someone has parked on her little Audi.
That little car has previously been subjected to a £7k insurance claim after another dozy driver shunted it through a fence while it was parked, marking every panel. So she's quite protective of it despite it being a company car.





Yeah, she's so protective of it that she can't even be bothered to wash the damned thing!

An hour's drive on the motorway this time of year if wet will make the back of even the most pristinely detailed car look like that.

Do you wash your car every 50 miles?

My car is a delightful shade of Road Dirt Grey and it is washed once per year whether it needs it or not.
