You do NOT own the parking space outside your residence.

Why don't you have a permit to park outside your own property?
Several reasons:1) Cost and admin
2) My current residence is temporary which means I could leave at any time
3) I already pay good money to use the road in the form of car tax
4) I do not wish to be put on a database so the authorities know where I reside
If you have insurance on your car then presumably you are already on a database.

You didn't recently get paid to produce a dossier on The Donald did you? 1) Cost and admin

Council in my area made parking illegal outside your own property without a permit so I park my car on a street that has no parking restrictions.
Went to my motor and one of the residents parked literally 5.000 mm away from the bumper blocking me in. Anyway the resident can see me from the living room inside their home and opens the front door, I ask him if the car is his. He says yes and asks me where I live because I leave my car there and it causes them problems according to him. Obviously tell the idiot it is none of their business where I live and I can park my car where I like as there are no parking restrictions on this road and my car is legal - taxed and insured.
So I just wanted to let these idiots know - and I'm sure plenty are reading this - you do not own the parking space outside your residence.
Also the idiot has done himself no favors because if my shed gets vandalised guess who'll be getting a visit.
Well you fit the pistonheads mould perfectly. Went to my motor and one of the residents parked literally 5.000 mm away from the bumper blocking me in.

You don't hang out with audamars do you?
Anyway, did your company director skills allow you to manoeuvre your 'shed' without any help?

You pay VED not car tax, its a tax based on emissions produced from your engine, thats why it will vary from vehicle to vehicle and why electric cars pay none at all. It does not give you a right to use the road. 1) Cost and admin

The authorities already know where you reside, thats how they sent you a VED reminder and a Council Tax bill, a census form and your polling card.
I guess this is not going the way the OP expected.
OP, people bring that up a lot when some people get defensive about other people's cars being parked outside their houses, but there is a difference between parking outside someone else's house on the same road or round the corner when space is limited and parking on a different road because you won't pay a few quid for a parking permit (that is there to stop non residents parking on your street.)

Oh, maybe not: http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...
The pleasures of having a driveway, a driveway that can fit both our cars on, so do the neighbours, parking is not an issue on my street. I once lived on a terraced street for about 5 years, never once had a parking issue, I did have a brick thrown through my windscreen and my partner got robbed at knifepoint, not a nice area, parking was fine though.
I don't really care if the authorities know where I live, probably because I have nothing to hide and don't have time to get paranoid, far too busy for that.
