I would call it inconsiderate behaviour, which recently, is much more prevalent. Eg. Entire roads near here are lined with cars parked on the pavements, reducing access for wheelchairs or people with babies in pushchairs. And yesterday I saw a car pull entirely onto the pavement, blocking it for pedestrians, while the driver consulted her mobile phone.A few years ago surely, pavements were solely for the use of pedestrians.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07777593805253097565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1828166865647185633.post-41377875161624720692021-10-25T12:23:05.810+01:002021-10-25T12:23:05.810+01:00Given we can already find out the MOT & Taxati...Given we can already find out the MOT & Taxation status of a vehicle (in this instance, the SUV was untaxed) the single best thing we can do to improve driving standards is to also publish the driving record of the registered keeper. It can be anonymised if needed. Then we could have apps which would immediately highlight which vehicles were more likely to be being driven by drivers who break the law. Imagine it plugged in to Garmin's Varia radar so you could get an alert of an approaching cockwomble. Personally, I'd prefer if we went a step further and published the address of the registered keeper and to hell with the risk of theft. It might make everyone a bit more honest and less willing to spang £50k on a new car at the height of the pandemic as the driver in this incident did.
