Inconsiderate drivers

So there is to be a repeat of the campaign aimed at getting drivers to stop blocking pavements. Can't see it getting through the mentality of Cypriot drivers. An effective police clampdown would bring better results - Cyprus has the best police money can buy!

Brian do i denote a hint of sarcasm in your post?? :lol:

Now lets be real about this its far safer to block a pavement than to park on the road,

Pedestrians can easily walk around a paked car via the road but its a nightmare (as car drivers)when we're queing up on the pavement to get by

If you only have a small passage, you must have claimed you were a nutter to stay out of the National Guard!

Given the state of many pavements, where they exist, it would be safer to walk in the road. :lol: :lol: Whats your problem???

What is libanon? Confused


Taking a quick guess - I'd assume Palio meant Lebanon. Not that hard to work out.
