Driver is a twat.

But also couldn't Royal Mail have turned the postbox 90 degrees facing the pavement so this would never be a problem? Or if there was a reason the postbox must face this direction, yellow lines to stop people from parking there?

Well, the car shouldn't be parked on the pavement anyway; the Royal Mail shouldn't have to accommodate stupidity like that.

Nothing to stop them parking on the pavement though, that car is parked perfectly legally

Unless they're in London, where they can be fined £70 for partially or wholly parking on the pavement or kerb. I think they're considering making it nationwide, as well. The highway code advises that you do not park on the pavement anywhere, but yeah it's not illegal outside the capital.

That only applies to the COL. I can say with some certainty that this isn't there.
