I saw an interesting piece of reversing on the pavement right beside the fence for the pedestrian crossing. No dropped kerb, nothing legal about the maneuver. I almost stopped by car to prevent them getting off the pavement with two police officers about a minute behind on foot, but I would have obstucted the bus that was not far behind me.

this spot is as bad as the skip vans outside Smiths in the morning, blocking the pavement while waiting to reverse into the skip yard.
