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.

I never understood why that law only applies in London. It'd be great to see it applied elsewhere, too.

it is in some parts of Bedford. I suppose it is in several places but it's up to the local council outside London.
