I have no idea, but it's not my problem, it's the owners of the cars' problem. I can't believe your entire village has no space suitable for car parking and you have to block the pavement.
Really, we have to manage parking like anything else, it's a finite resource and it's not acceptable to leave vehicles where they will be a hazard and hindrance. It can't be acceptable to simply leave your car on the pavement because you've invented a justification (it's the same around here, we all have more cars than space, and the constant bleat 'but there's nowhere else to park').
