| Comment | > almost nobody is driving right now
None of the cases I stated have anything to do with the number of people driving. It's a state in every residential area right now because everyone is trying to park at home where normally a proportion of cars would be elsewhere.
A police response means a reactive response, which means the car blocking the fire lane only gets moved once the house is on fire and the fire engine can't get in, which means the house has burned down by the time help can get to it.
Similarly, a disabled person is not going to phoning the police to report every one of the hundreds of cars blocking their way in/out that there would inevitably be if it became a free-for-all. Are supermarket delivery drivers who can't get to their customers going to be phoning the police? Of course not, they'll just skip the delivery and move on.
It's utterly unreasonable to suggest that anything close to parking order could be maintained by police. If that were the case, we wouldn't have parking wardens in the first place. |
