Of course the non-motorists that criticise cyclists for law breaking?

The council installed the driveway without getting the correct
planning permission, or the planning office didn't do their job
properly -- it's not illegal to drive over a dropped kerb.

You are missing the point. This is about non-dropped kerbs, over which
many motorists drive on a daily basis and seem to be allowed to get
away with it.

So, you are obviously endorsing the alternative. which is to park on the
street:
"Fearful of being hit with fines, homeowners in Pinfold Street, Eastrington,
East Yorkshire, are being forced to park on the street, causing traffic
congestion as a result."
Nice to see yet another bureacratic public sector body approaching a problem
with a win-win approach (NOT). Why don't these people realise that it could
be solved without antagonising everyone with immediate threats, but to work
with them to come up with a sensible solution?
