Pavement parking might be inconsider­ate, but it’s not illegal. So what would be the point of puncturing folks’ tyres? All it would mean is their car/van/truck will be there for longer!

Kevin Hill I’m sure Kwik Fit and other garages would just love these all over the place.

Francis Ferguson So a child can jump on it, drivers are obliged to burst their tyres to let emergency vehicles pass, larger dogs may puncture their foot pads, which don’t heal easily, pushchair wheels may get damaged, someone may trip and land on one and activate it to their accidental injury, a blind person may trip on one...
