Can I find out who is the registered keeper of a car?
Discussion
And if so, where?
I have an issue with somebody intentionally, parking a car (on the highway) across a driveway (with dropped kerb) and blocking access into a property.
The driver has ignored polite notes and continues to park there.
I get a feeling that it's a company car.
The property is my OH's and I've told her to report it the Police but I doubt they'll do anything.
ETA: Can anyone help?

Thanks for the replies guys.
When I say 'access' I mean getting the car in and out of the drive - not walking in and out. We've been out and arrived back to find it parked over the drive during our absence. We've also gone to go out and it's stop us getting the car out.
My current thoughts are to set the alarm off and give them a chance to come out. If they don't, smash the window and roll it off down the road.
Luckily the OH is a lot more pragmatic.
She called the Police last night who gave her the contact number of the Beat Bobby. They said that the BB will contact the owner should they continue to ignore the notes and have a chat.

UPDATE:
Was doing some gardening 'out front' this morning and the idiot had parked across the drive again.
We're due out at 12:30 so the OH got on the phone to the Police. After being messed about - initially told her to phone the Council who then told her to call the Police - the car got lifted. Not sure if the Police tried to contact the owner or not.
Went out and the OH got a phone call from one of her tenants saying that 'some guy' had been shouting down the intercom asking why they had called '999' on them. The tenant told them that they didn't know whatg they were talking about and to contact the Police if his car had been taken.
Back now and waiting for an 'intercom warrior' to buzz us. Not going to cause a scene just be calm and consice and if they wish to threaten me or the OH I'll report them to the Police.

No there isn't a white line and there's no legal requirement to have one. There is a £100 charge for installing one though.
All it does is give the Council powers to move any car as well as the Police - which can be handy. But as the Police are require to move any car obstructiong your drive - ie stopping you getting out - then it's a bit pointless. Although it would be useful if you're returning to your drive and find it blocked.
