What's the official position if someone blocks you in your own drive.
Where would you stand re the law and Police etc.
Hasn't happened, but of course it could happen to any of us ...........

I believe the police can get involved in getting it moved :-\

:o :o ;D ;D Like the style Webby. I think the official stance is to ask them to move it (assuming you know who's it is) and if they refuse then the Police can get involved. :y

Quote from highways department.
"The dropped kerb area is still public highway, and as such the public have a right to pass and repass (basically you should not be parking on the crossover) but you have the right to cross from the carriageway to your property via the legally constructed access.
It is against the law to block a legally constructed dropped kerb access to a property.
The Police have power of enforcement, and you are within your rights to call the Police if someone has parked in such a way as to prevent you access or egress (the right of a person to leave a property in property law ) at your property. The Police have the power to request the vehicle be removed, or to remove the vehicle.
The only time you would not have support of enforcement is if you were crossing the public highway illegally (bumping the kerb, driving over verge, driving over footway) to gain access to your property. If this were the case and someone parked where you illegally cross, then the Police could not be involved because you would be the one acting unlawfully, not the person parking outside the property.

A nice polite note, in bold print with short easy to grasp words carefully superglued to the middle of the drivers door window.
Not failed yet :-X

The glue situation happened in Beaconsfield. Due to the ridiculous councils new parking restrictions (double yellows or no return within an hour) people were parking on an estate legally.....but one resident at least took umbrage and glued notices to vehicles, stating 'this is a housing estate not a car park'. >:(
Police involved, and perpetrator/s was/were arrested. Don't know the outcome of the court case. So be wary... ;D
Incidently...a lot of the people would park in the council car park....but daytime prices do not activate on the machines until after 8.00am and early parkers have been fined, unless they leave work after eight to renew the ticket !!!!! >:(

Do you know anyone with a forklift or pallet truck to shift the bugger to a more convenient, ditch like place! ::)
Arrived at work one night to find my service users' (electric wheelchair access required at all times) Dad removing a car from his drive way with a forklift truck. He placed it in a ditch then called the police to say that the driver was in the pub at the end of the road! A good evenings entertainment all round! ;D
We have been known to block inconsiderate parkers in and then point out the error of their ways when they have to knock and ask us to move (or just not hear the door bell)! ::)

A friend of mine before he retired used to move heavy machinery, to minimize disruption this was often performed at weekends. On one occasion on a Saturday morning there was a car parked blocking the factory entrance, so he knocked on the doors of the nearby houses to find the owner to get it moved. Once he found the owner he took great exception to being woken up and my friend was told to f-off he wasn't moving it.
So my friend used the 3.5 ton hiab to lift the offending car, place on his flat bed and then deposit it in his front garden. He said it was one of those Victorian houses with a brick wall all around and a pedestrian gate and the car just fitted nicely. :y
While he was loading the machinery the owner came up and called hime every name under the sun. My friend then said, do you know how much it is going to cost to remove your car from your front garden? Now I suggest you go and make some phone calls to find out. However, if you come back and apologize and ask me very nicely before I have finished loading the machinery and I'm on my way, I will remove it from your front garden and place it back on the road. 10 minutes later the guy was back full of apologies and even asked my friend if he wanted a cup of tea. :y :y :y ;D ;D ;D
