Too rageface over the repeated mis-use of "fine" to think rationally or use first person pronoun.
OK, the offence is without lawful authority or excuse, in any way wilfully obstructs the free passage along a highway.
Which is delightfully vague and could be applied to stopping anywhere on any part of the highway, or to the free passage of any class of road users. There's no reason that footists or Davroses can't use the carriageway, so this whole "armed carriage" stuff is presumably built on top of case law, or just naked assertion.
Highways Act 1835 prohibits wilfully [driving] any carriage of any description upon any footpath or causeway by the side of any road made or set apart for the use or accommodation of foot passengers, and the exemption for parking is vague and doesn't clearly apply to the 1835 offence.
It's a big old mess, but at least the 2015 attempt to clean it up by adding even more laws died in committee. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.
