I'd tend to cede priority to the person coming up the hill, as reversing down a hill is an interesting experience, IME.
Saw her at the Cornwall Coliseum in 1986 - support act for The Smiths.
It asked for a ram-raiding offence to be taken into account.
Remind me, again: how much floodwater is absorbed by a resin-sealed tarmacced driveway…?
But that doesn't matter, you hidebound reactionary because this go-ahead drive surfacing company of Preston and Morecambe (interestingly, they can't even spell 'Morecambe') is keeping the economy moving by abolishing unneccesary red-tape such as VED
I assumed that a commuter road was like the Room of Requirement - it travels to wherever people need to drive on it.
Well good morning Judge, yes I'm back again

He didn't do it, he wasn't there

And this is the immediately following vehicle, which I suspect is the same company
That's a weird looking carpark they have themselves there...
One for wtjs. Not Lancashire and the reporter was an off duty police officer
Offender should have offended in Lancashire where the police show proper respect for people in large expensive fast cars.

Offence occurred at 16:19 on 14.9.24- driver of BMW M4 A15 TJV accelerated hard when the lights turned red. Reported to OpSnap Lancs at 17:30 the same day and given the code APL149463 (if LancsFilth could block me from using the site they would have done long ago, but they can't because it's national for all OpSnaps). This was the scene at the moment the lights changed to red, presumably the red wasn't established enough
Cars delay ambulances - shock
https://road.cc/content/forum/death-anecdote-exeter-ltn-303553 In which I argue that there's a lot of factors at play with ambulance transit, but clearly random individual blockages don't help matters.
Beautiful!
Wait till the cognitive dissonance kicks in when Phil finds out that "right of way" doesn't mean what he thinks it means, and he doesn't have what he thinks he has, just because he's "on a hill".
Cabbies and burger van man - that's who we should be listening to.
I didn't quite understand how the speed limit, and for that matter the traffic lights, stopped his would-be customers from eating their food.
Phil from Fowey : live scene
(Not sure what driver route problem Phil is trying to solve by taking this road.)
"Cranham Drive motorhome: dad clears drive of all vans":
Let's not be too hard on the fellow, maybe he was using it as bike shed.
I feel the comment by the parking company is most telling: ""Our evidence confirms that the vehicle overstayed the period paid for, and the Grace Period was exceeded; therefore, the Parking Charge was issued correctly."
So, he stayed longer than he paid for...got a few minutes additional free and then still wants more free. Twat. Pay for what you need and don't be expecting freebies.
I dislike people like him quite a lot!
Is the outrage that the council hasn't done something about this clearly dangerous bog?
Far too many in that article unable to reverse onto the driveway. Does no one know the highway code ?
I hope so!
After a day getting others to run on the treadmill ... TBF some folks who lead classes are pretty active in them. And maybe she has to carry a bit of her own kit with her, or doesn't feel safe to leave the bike as opposed to a car?
However - here's Swinton and a radius of about two miles. Swinton appears to have a couple of train stations also - though sadly the Metrolink appears to ignore northwest and southeast.
It might be that she works to the north west - in which case perhaps those motorways are a barrier.
I'm going with "standard modern lifestyle" though.
I think he's a good example of why the parkcos have become so widespread among landowners operating car parks. I don't much care for the way in which they operate, but you can understand why they are brought in if he is what you're faced with.
What was the conversation with the CEO going to be?
Well how do you expect her to carry a treadmill on her bike ?
You sure it's the Swinton in Greater Manchester and not the one in South Yorkshire?
No, I'm not - I have no idea where this person lives. I just made an assumption. All I know is that the story linked in the OP appeared in the Manchester Evening News, references her (falsely) being reported driving in Cheshire and Kingsway in south Manchester, and that she is dealing with the Greater Manchester police.
Greater Manchester version is probably a pretty good bet then. Thanks for the reply.

'An overstay is an overstay' - backlash against £100 parking charge complaint at Harlyn Bay car park
David Lester has accused the parking management company of 'mugging people' and 'getting away with it like it's a tourism tax'

"Let's off road!"
The cock-up around the dropped kerbs isn't helpful; the pictures in the article illustrate that owners of several of these properties are driving across the pavement without a dropped kerb.
He was heard to say " I say, old man you seem to be reversing into me", for which he was given a police caution and was ordered to pay the driver £60 for hurt feelings.
Yep, many are just parking on their front lawn, no dropped kerb, probably no planning permission to park there. I particularly liked this comment: "At least before you could reverse out with some more haste". I'm not sure anyone should be hastily reversing out onto a main road whilst crossing a footway!
