This comment provides the truth:

"Can afford cctv at home but not able to afford a front gate get ur
priorities straight"

If their toddler is so ****ing stupid to run out of the gate without
looking what's coming, she could do the same into the road. Which will
earn her a Darwin Award.

They have an absolute right to expect that their child could run onto a
pedestrian only pavement safely.


In your opinion.


In English law.


Which is the opinion of those in power, which I didn't vote for.

The cyclists broke the law. Game over. The Fat Lady has sung.


What would be your opinion if a runner (who can go cycling speed) did
the same thing to the stupid child?

Runners have more common sense than cyclists and would have been able to
stop/swerve.


Not if a kid runs out of a gateway which is hidden by a hedge. And if I was that cyclist I'd have kicked the stupid little child for injuring me and/or damaging my bicycle.

They shouldn't have to. It's basically a t-junction with a giveway line. Just like you give way in a supermarket when you emerge from an isle.

It makes no difference whether you're travelling by car, lorry, van,
motor-bike, bicycle, wheelbarrow on foot, you have absolutely no
business proceeding into a space you cannot see at such a speed that you
cannot stop as soon as an obstruction (eg, a child) is sighted.

It's called "negligence".

So you think it's wrong to run on a pavement? Many joggers (all of them actually) would disagree with you.

The child was an invalid obstruction and was asking for a Darwin award.

You'd let someone off for tripping you up without looking where they were going? Kids need to learn how to behave.

drive along the footpath until they find a nice parking spot
which will then restrict access for pedestrians, prams and
disabled carriages. Luckily, spot fines are a good deterrent
for these law breakers.

Drivers don't drive along footpaths, idiot.

How did this get here then, idiot? Selfish gits.

Too dim to understand the difference between 'onto' and 'along'.

Did that car in the photo drive along the footway to get that spot in
which it totally blocks the footway forcing the mother and child onto
the road? Yes or no?

He drove 'onto' the footway, not 'along it. Cyclists frequently pedal


So you imagine that the law breaking driver parallel parked and then pressed a special button that acted like the "frogger" game and it leapt clean sideways onto the footway in one move, blocking it? Or did it drive along it to its resting place? Which was it?

No.

But I think that you have great difficulty in comprehending what you
read and you have managed to completely confirm that with your
non-sequitur response.

Many joggers (all of them actually) would disagree with you.


I dare say, and on many things. But not on this one. Well, not unless
they, like you, have a screw loose.

Is it "invalid" to walk out of a garden gate onto a footway?

It's no less dangerous than cycling.

Joggers jog along pavements, at cycling speed.

It is if they don't look first.

A juggler, driving to his next performance, is stopped by the police. "What are these matches and lighter fluid doing in your car?" asks the cop.
"I'm a juggler and I juggle flaming torches in my act."
"Oh yeah?" says the doubtful cop. "Lets see you do it." The juggler gets out and starts juggling the blazing torches masterfully.
A couple driving by slows down to watch. "Wow," says the driver to his wife. "I'm glad I quit drinking. Look at the test they're giving now!"

Still too dim to understand the difference between 'onto' and 'along'.

Let me explain. Ask an adult to help with any long words.

Motorists occasionally drive "onto" pavements. Cyclists frequently
pedal "along" pavements for entire journeys.
