    I know Scotland is a different country, but could someone translate the

    It makes no sense as it stands.

    Good, it's about time. Now parking on foot paths needs banning in the
    rest of the UK as well.

    Foot paths are for us to walk on and not for drivers to park on.

    Or cyclists to ride on. Just ask Auriol Grey.

    He said that a fine can lead to a fine.

    Correct.

    But did you expect him to?
