Parking on the pavement
Highway Code rule 244 (rule 218 in previous version of HC):
DO NOT park partially or wholly on the pavement unless signs permit it. Parking on the pavement can obstruct and seriously inconvenience pedestrians, people in wheelchairs, the visually impaired and people with prams or pushchairs.
Clearly the driver of this vehicle gave no thought to the inconvenience to pedestrians, let alone the danger of sending them into the road so close to a ‘closed’ junction!
