PAVEMENT PARKING: More shocking examples from across the North-East

The Northern Echo has again been asking for your examples of inconsiderate parking and some of them are quite shocking.

While not every parking contravention poses an immediate safety risk, there are times when blocking pavements can be downright dangerous for pedestrians.

Plus, it is against The Highway Code, which says motorists should NOT drive on pavements unless in an emergency, or to gain access to a property i.e. driveway.

Here is a selection of the nine worst examples that we have received of parked vehicles so far.

We have decided to block out individual registration numbers to protect the identity of the drivers, but have published the locations of each badly parked car.
