Driven to Madness
Captain Placid asks: What annoying things do significant others, workmates and other people in general do that drive you up the wall? Do you want to kill your other half over their obsessive fridge magnet collection? Driven to distraction over your manager's continued use of Comic Sans (The Font of Champions)? Tell us.

Footpaths
I really must do something about the rage that boils inside me when I see cars parked on the footpath, usually taking up so much that you've no chance of getting a pushchair past. Normally occurs at 11am on a Sunday outside every church. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. That's why your wing mirrors are all knocked or there are pushchair tracks up your bonnet and roof.
And then there's the cyclists. Bastards. Usually kitted out with their helmets and hi-vis, cycling along footpaths clearly unsuitable for this. And when asked about this they tell you the road is too dangerous to cycle on. Eh? What now?
And breathe.

Oooo.
I'd just love to see their faces when they come out of church and their sprogs pick my notes off the windscreen. "Dad, what's a cunt?"

You get a click from me.
As far as I'm concerned a car parked on the footway at the side of a road is't legally there -- so any damage made to it by pushchairs, prams, zips, or steel-toed boots when they accidentally make contact can't possibly have happened so the driver has no legal recourse (IANAL, but it follllows).
As for cyclists on footways next to roads -- with the exeption of adequately signosted dual-use paths there is no excuse. If a cyclist should choose to ride on such they woukd be legally responsible for any accidents, even if you trip and stumble into them.

and conversly,
The fucktard cyclists who stay on the jam packed, rush hour main road causing the inside lane to slow to their speed and then have to straddle the white line to overtake pissing everybody off when there is a specially built cycle path for them to pretend they're racing in the tour de France just 1 meter away. Is it legally viable to ignore them and knock them over in such a situation?

Agreed.
Where on that little circular disc thingy does it say anything about pavements?
