Ta muchly.  Friend has got antsy about parking there, even though enforcing would be ridiculous. It will be good to reassure him.

As a matter of interest … There is a dropped kerb nearby that once served the drive of a large house.  Said house has now been demolished and redeveloped, access is now in a different place.  The old dropped kerb still exists but leads nowhere (well, to a brick wall).  Is it still illegal to park across it? 

I use that road regularly and have spotted vehicles parked on that stub. It clearly is a stub, rather than a nonfunctional road.  The kerb is yellow lined. In order to park there the driver has to ignore the bollard, but I don’t think it has a keep left sign on it. It’s hard to see that parking there causes any sort of obstruction to road traffic but it does inconvenience pedestrians with wheelchairs/walking frames/buggies wishing to cross the road using the dropped kerbs.Will be fascinating to see the outcome.

Can’t tell much from the photo, but worth remembering that it isn’t just about the distance as you pass a cyclist, it’s also about moving back to your lane too quickly.  Some motorists seem to forget that the cyclist is moving and treat them as a stationary object.
