You can't leave it there!

Suggestion that Scotland will make it illegal to park on the pavement.  This is being done in the spirit of ensuring the "free movement of pedestrians".  Yes, I can see that, but the other side of the coin is that if cars can't stick two wheels on the pavement it's likely to cause chaos on the roads which are generally too narrow to easily accommodate both parked and moving vehicles going in both directions.  As a driver and, at one time, a wheelchair pusher, I can see the arguments both ways. The basic problem of course is that our road system is totally unsuitable for the use to which it is being put in modern times, but I'm not sure that preferring one set of users over another greatly helps.
