I have heard it claimed (here, I think) that you are breaking the law if you
drive over a footpath which *doesn't* have a dropped kerb. Don't know
whether it's true - but it would be worth checking.


Driving acoss the pavement is an offence if there is no dropeed kerb.
However, I believe that having your car parked on the garden is not
considered evidence that you drove it there; you migh thave craned it
there for example, or dismatled it and rebuiklt it bit by bit. in
just the same way as parking on the pavement might cause the offence
of 'obstruction' but is not proof of driving on the pavement.
