THE photograph in the Evening Press of Neil Robertson's car parked on the pavement is misleading (February 10).
The measurement shown to the yellow lines are irrelevant. What is important is the distance of the rear of the car from the kerbstone.
The car is clearly on the pavement by 90cm, leaving less than that width of pavement to walk on, obstructing blind and partially sighted people, people in wheelchairs and parents with a pram or pushchair.
Too many motorists think they can obstruct pavements by parking on them.
