Are the drivers from North Birmingham Travel idiots has two of them keeping parking on pavements to drop passengers off in wheelchairs.
One earlier this afternoon tried pulling up on to the pavement in Wednesbury, I tried explaining he's not allowed to but the driver was adinment that he is allowed to as he needs a big areas to manoeuvre a wheelchair that could not be done from roadside.
Surely if the driver drives across a pavement surely it is classified as dangerous driving and the driver should lose their licence or have points on licence.

The driver's first and immediate concern is for the health, safety and welfare of his passengers. Due consideration should be given to pedestrians and road users, however where he is unable to safely alight his passengers, then this particular method is the safest to place them on a pavement and not the road.
Wheelchair users normally need 3-5 metres clearance from the exit doors and this isn't always practical in the road.
