Parking over driveway

[Eager]

Hows about park in your own driveway and leave the nose of your van poking out all the time ?, park tight against the wall. so that mini can not get in that position



However, you can still use your driveway were that mini is positioned, not really a huge issue. Apart from it annoying you.
Its part and parcel of living in a area were your all on top of each other. Especially when its common enough for a family to have at least 3 cars

Make sure and have an mma belt on each shoulder. And threaten to lay the smackdown

 

[soccersmyth]

if it's an ongoing thing, they're just inconsiderate ****s.

 

[Sgt_Major]

Put a clamp on the mini.

 

[Blackie]

Screw the inner bit outta their valves on two of the wheels!!!

That would drive me mad, unfortunately it is indicative of people nowadays they just don't give a toss about anyone but themselves.

We had these parking issues for years when I lived at home and it's not fun, lucky with where we live now no issues. Hope you get it sorted.

 

[Neil@rockvale]

Thank god I live in the country , that would drive me insane and probably end in me getting arrested lol. That's annoyed me so much ill make you a sign for free for the end of your drive if you like to say no parking over driveway or whatever wording you want .

 

[-herc-]

Neil that would be fantastic if you did and I'll post the pics up )

 

[Neil@rockvale]

No prob . Take a run over some day and I'll do it for you.

I reckon you knock on their door and ask them nicely not to park over your driveway and park in their designated space, wouldnt get ****ty with them as they are your neighbour and having **** neighbours would be worse in the long run I reckon.

 

[Coog]

Ridiculous. You can get out, but even still...

Tried sticking a few cones out or do you reckon that wouldn't work?

AFAIK it's illegal to obstruct someone's (yours) access to the highway.

 

[-herc-]

@Coog - no there are far too many kids in the cull de sac they would punch them for football nets. (I found my bin half way down the street one night being used as a goal post!!

@Marc - we have tried believe me. They have no respect for other people. It's so hard not to go and slap him but I'll be worse in the world if I did

We have now put the house on the market and looking at a detached property now

Fed up

Pretty sure I heard that it's illegal to block someone leaving their property , but not illegal to block someone into their property.

The house next door to us has 3 cars and a driveway that would fit 3 cars but not one of them uses it. They would rather park in front of my house, it makes no sense. Looking forward to getting the Passat back because I'm going to make it hard for them.

 

[Sonny]

It's not illegal to park infront of someones house. You don't own the road. However deliberately preventing someone from leaving their property and thus access to the highway is. Parking at your house when they've room at their own is just plain ignorant.

I would sometimes leave my car at the bottom of the drive if she's going to need to leave and I couldn't be arsed moving the car (single lane drive, yet stupidly long enough for 4 cars), but plenty of room for other neighbours to get in and out of their own drives. If anyone has seen the pictures on my Instagram you'll see plenty of room.

 

[Blackie]

Is it not illegal to park on a dropped kerb blocking someone's entrance/drive?

 

[-herc-]

Well that was the last straw - now in hands of estate agents to sell it

 

[KyleR]

Pretty sure I heard that it's illegal to block someone leaving their property , but not illegal to block someone into their property.

Aren't they both the same thing? If they can't leave, then they're blocked in.

 

[Tommy]

I think its all down to common decency, rather than legality. We park in the driveway because the street is narrow and with cars parked on both sides of the road there is only room for one car to move at a time.

 

[Peadar]

Here is the newest carry on over the weekend!!! Grrrr

I don't see a problem there? or is it just me ?
By the looks of that photo there's plenty of room to get in & out of your drive?

It's not as if he's blocking your access.

It's also a bit OTT to be complaining about a few kids using your wheelie bin to use as goalposts!
You sound like the grumpy old man of the area.

he is blocking a third of my driveway...... get your eyes tested!!

I didnt say anything about my car being block more along the lines it makes it awkward for the wife to get into our garage because the lack of respect the neightbours have.

you'll always get one.....

Its just you.

Shame its come to that. What do they actually say when you've confronted them in the past?

It would literally boil my blood, I can feel myself getting cross looking at the photo.
