    "Driving which falls a long way below the expected standard"

    I'm fairly sure the expected standard is to NOT drive down the pavement and therefore it is considered 'dangerous'?

    If a ROSPA trained officer saw him do it, or it was caught on CCTV, then he'd be up for a ban, a possible 2 year sentence and upto a £5000 fine.

    The definition of dangerous driving is basically down to the opinion of an officer trained in advanced driving skills.

    He'd need a damn good excuse (like avoiding a collision with another vehicle)

    You'd assume a lack of Police officer, so unless caught on CCTV, it'd be careless driving at best.
    That's not what the road traffic act states.
