I saw this happening this morning and can't decide which mum was right.
Situation is a small village school situated on a small lane. No pavement along the lane, until a very small bit just next to school entrance. Quite a high one.
Parent 1 usually drives up lane to next to small pavement, puts hazards on and sits on double yellows to let little boy out, and sits there while he goes in and to his door. I initially leapt to thinking she was unreasonable because this is really annoying for pedestrians coming past due to cars having to avoid her.
Parent 2 walks along lane with buggy and two small children.
In this instance, parent 2 was walking along and passing the pavement to go up into school entrance. Very short pavement so I assume she decided not to try to get buggy up it just to get down off it again a few paces later for entrance.
Parent 1 comes along in car, puts hazards on and starts coming in alongside the pavement. Thereby squashing (she only stopped when parent 2 waved in the open window) parent 2 against the kerb.
So. Parent 1 apologised but said she "assumed parent 2 had got up on the pavement".
Parent 2 asked whether parent 1 had been able to see her or not
Parent 1 said she had seen her but then assumed she had got on the pavement so started coming in. And that she stops there so that she can U turn in the entrance of the road opposite school to go back the way she came.
My initial thoughts were that 1 was unreasonable, but then I wondered if she was correct that 2 should have got on the pavement?
Or both?
