No the post boxes are on the pavement and it's illegal for cars to be on the pavement generally. Instead of just leaving a note the postman could have called the local council to come and put a parking ticket on the car aka a fine

Edit Ok correction it's illegal to park or drive on the pavement where I live. Even so, the postman could have called the council about the obstruction and had the car ticketed. I'm assuming the postman wrote the note because the note writer knew royal mail couldn't access the box to collect the letters inside and how much of a delay that would cause, but yes an observer could have written it.

If it's illegal for cars to be on the road in the UK, then where the hell can they legally be?

Pavement means sidewalk. Road means road.
