Show the answer

To get into a propertyThis was the right answer

You must not drive on or over a pavement, footpath or bridleway except to gain lawful access to property or in an emergency. Property access is the valid option offered here, but it is not the only exception. When crossing a pavement, give way to pedestrians and proceed only when safe.
