AIBU to challenge directly people who pull up and park on the pavement (double yellows) whilst talking on their phone?

Their response ‘there’s plenty of room’ and carry on chatting on the phone.

It’s been banned in my city apart from deliver drivers. It’s great. As a pedestrian i am sick of seeing broken pavements due to people parking on them. Makes it much safer if you use a wheelchair, push a buggy, have a dog, are visually impaired, mobility issues…

carry on challenging I say, I do the same

I walk everywhere and see people with pushchairs being forced to walk on the road. The fact that it needs challenging is the issue, not the person doing it. Don’t victim blame.

I’d rather someone stopped on double yellows to answer the phone to their children or the doctor or whatever than answers the phone and carried on driving.

If there really is plenty of room, why does it matter?

How often are you “challenging” people?

You sound like the Robin Hood of pavement parking
