If pedestrian traffic cannot get past this is an offence - s 137 Highways Act 1980 - record each separate event with photo.
In order to park on the footway the car must be driven on the footway this is the same offence that cyclists get hit with s.72 Highways Act 1835 - offence to drive a carriage on a footway (cycles were recognised as carriages in 1888, cars in 1903) Unfortunately the Police insist that they won't issue a fine (and points) unles caught in flagrante delicto despit the obvious fact that to put the car there the offence must have been committed.

Now if this site had a link to insurers, or a flag system for offences the cars used illegally as taxis would be listed conveniently for the insurers to follow up on, or identify as uninsured for the Police to deal with (NB using it illegally voids the insurance anyway - so the Police can stop & seize the car if it is being used as a taxi.
Driver was tailgating me and others and pulled across right in front of another vehicle at the last second to take the exit for Edinburgh Airport. Terrible driving that will end up causing an accident.
Driven by some foolish girl with the hazard perception of a gnat. Forced me to pull back into a motorway parking thing last minute because she came around (I was in the middle of literally ENTERING) and refused to move into the empty lane (so I was going in the back of a lorry thanks lovely!)
Then gets in the wrong lane and forces everyone to slow to crawl because no one will let you in (well signposted) I’m sure you remember who we are lovely. Get an eye test. And a driving one while you’re at it. You’re one more mistake away from causing a serious incident you need to LOOK.
Loves pulling out into traffic doing an illegal 180° turn and almost hitting cyclists! Didn't realise something was wrong when they were trying to undertake an out of position cyclist that they almost hit!
