Allowed? No. Do people do things that they aren’t allowed to do even when they aren’t the best option. Yes all the time.
I would be willing to bet wherever you live there are things that aren’t allowed happening all the time. In fact you, just like everyone else probably participate in some of those activities regularly.
For example, since this conversation is about cars. You have never once driven over the speed limit (depending on where you are under the speed limit) or drove somewhere without a seat belt or used your cell phone with your hands while driving. How about using your turn signal to change lanes 100% of the time.
The world is full of rules not being followed.
Anyone doing those things should have their car crushed.
Turning walkways into a hazard course is not an acceptable approach.
With the layout of the road outside the house here there's no pavement on our side and with the car right next to the gate there's no cable across anywhere someone could walk unless they go through the gate. We're usually charging from the main charger on the drive though, it's only when we have multiple cars to charge that the extra cable comes out.
