Well, it can't be motorists because we have often been told that they
never do this.

I see and directly encounter cyclists riding on pavements every day,
very few of them even slow down while negotiating/passing
pedestrians. I
also see and encounter cyclists riding across Zebra crossings.

How dangerous is it compared to motor vehicles?

I have never seen or been passed by, a car coming toward me or from
behind me while I am walking on the pavement,nor have I seen a car
driving along a pavement, or using a Zebra crossing. I have never had
to leap out of the way of a pavement driven car either (unlike the
dangerously ridden pavement bicycles that I frequently see and have
encountered)

Not happening to Mr Cheerful means it doesn't happen? Is the video made
up? The lower frequency is likely in large part due physical constraints
giving drivers fewer opportunities (perhaps you haven't noticed that
many pavements have streetlamps that restict the width?), rather than
from a lack of will.

Oh, I have seen cars drive on the pavement as part of a longer journey.


So have I.

In fact, every journey, long or not-so-long, from this address, starts
with a car being driven "on the pavement".


Don't you have a pavement crossing at your address then?


Of course.

Was there a point you were attempting to make?

It would interesting to know how you end each journey.


That depends on factors peculiar to each journey.
