I would get serious pleasure watching a driver get a spot fine for

Only illegal in London and other places where byelaws exist. Incredibly
annoying, though.

Particularly as it can frequently make it impossible to get a buggy or

who do walk about are people looking after young children.

There is a section of the Highways Act (s.187?) that can be used.
Something about obstructing the highway in a manner causing danger to
other users.
