That's daft, it should be "across a driveway". I've seen plenty
dropped kerbs left where there is no longer a driveway, or
driveways where they haven't bothered dropping the kerb.

Which is illegal to drive across.

Yet everyone does it.

Till they are told not to or fined for doing so as it's contrary to
Section 72 of the highways Act 1835.

But look at the Road Traffic Act 1988.

And as I have mentioned elsewhere, that may be only where there has been
some provision for that, like a dropped kerb?

The fact that it's not specifically mentioned may not mean that it can
be assumed to be ok?

I thought one reason it *wasn't* allowed is because of potential damage
to the kerb?

I'm just wonndering if there is something else that allows councils to
insist on it, like a local byelaw that they pretty well all have.
