Does anyone know if it's acceptable to to work on cars on your own driveway during the lockdown?
Only reason I ask is because I have my Mums car on the drive and I was halfway through doing the timing belt yesterday...good timing eigh (pun intended)
Will the village Facebook vigilantly mob call the police on me if I carry on boxedin
It's a terraced house with private driveway, on a cul-de-sac where I rarely see people during the day.

Keep 2m away from other people and you should be OK. You are allowed to go out into your own garden. I don't see this as that different

I’ve already service 2 bikes and a car...

I consider my garage/driveway as part of my home... so I’m staying at home.

Of course you can work on the street until a law says you can't. Just be sensible about it and don't cough on any electric vehicles.
