One major flaw in your argument is that there are no jaywalking laws in this country. Pedestrians are not legally bound to obey red lights. The Highway Code advises pedestrians to wait at red lights, but this is advice and not a legal requirement.


Cyclists, on the other hand, are legally bound to obey red lights, as are motor vehicles like cars and buses. So there's no point trying to use pedestrian behaviour to excuse the lawbreaking of wheeled vehicles, because the same laws don't apply.

    • Well, I know a lot of people in London with pets and I've never heard any of them complain about fireworks.  Maybe what's not ok is keeping timid animals in a metropolis when they are scared of the noises that come with normal city living.
    • We git a ticket when we tried to park there to watch the fireworks.  Anyways we didn't even get a space and so we didn't actually park.  But we got a penalty notice.  We just paid up.  And we won't be taking our car their ever again.  You probably needed a Southwark council visitors permit.  I imagine it would have needed to be booked online B4 or by the end of the day that you parked. Beat thing to do is contact Southwark Council Estate parking to clarify the situation.   I hope your freebie was worth the value of your penalty.   
    • I don't think it works like that. It's not like the fireworks are on a regular daily  schedule. And in any case, why should animals be badly frightened on several occasions in order that they "become accustomed" to them? Do you really think that's ok?
    • Surely with pets, the more frequently fireworks are used the more they will be accustomed to them ?
