I doubt that the holder of the opertator licence is allowed to leave that on the street. It has to be parked up at the address the licence is registered to, unless the driver stays with the vehicle.
Naughty.
There are indeed serious restriction on where such vehicles can be parked. I would seek advice from the local licencing authority. This undoubtedly would cause a nuisance parked inappropriately.Naughty.

What a bloody eyesore.
That would also piss me off.
You will probably find it belongs to someone round the corner on a different road, and he is parking it there because he doesn't want it parked outside his own house.
Burn it.
We have this probably every couple weeks. We have a chav family down the road that on a Friday often park the LWB Renault (full of fizzy drinks and sweets - though not sign written as such) outside everyone else's house but their own. Which of course doesn't move until Monday morning. Great for having guests.That would also piss me off.

YES it's got tax so presumably insurance. YES they aren't breaking any laws (as far as I know) But it's a bit rude. Especially since of the 3 cars they have squeezed onto their drive (literally side by side couldn't get into them) none appear to run anyway, so not like they need 24hr access.
Your van slagface, cause your own problems not others. But that would involve thinking of others so...I used to live near a guy who was a breakdown truck driver
The numpty would drive into where we lived, park up then reverse out at all hours of the night with his reverse beeper blaring away
My neighbour complained as it kept waking his kids up, stopped soon after that
I think he should of been working froma depot instead of his home

^^ Recovery vehicles don't need an operators licence.
Partly true. Only recovery vehicles used solely to transport "disabled vehicles" (as in unable to move due to accident or mechanical failure) to a point of repair or to be dismantled.
If the recovery vehicle is being used to transport vehicles from auctions or after repair then a operators licence is required, because it's then classed as goods.
I'd guess the motorway recovery trucks fall into the no operator licence category.
OP - Do you live in my street? We have one of those parked up for a couple of hours each day around lunchtime. I think the driver is shagging the woman that lives there. Been debating whether to drop a word to the council. Not for the shagging but for the 2 hour breaks he's taking.
Outside your house you say?

Roadsweepers are cool. Would be cool to drive one for a halfday or something. Along with a snowplough, a piste basher (for ski resorts), a digger, a dumpertruck, a dustcart, a tank and a minesweeper. Someone should open an experience centre where you can drive all the big machines together in one go for 500 quid a day or something (yes, I know you can go to tank school etc., but noone in the UK does all the big machines in one place for convenience).
Not quite what you want but it's not quite £500 either: http://www.diggerland.com/Cabbie parks outside my house. He has a large in out driveway and lives 200 yards away. He either doesn't want to park a taxi outside his house or has issues about starting cars up or returning at odd times of the day. I try not to let it bother me.
A roadsweeper is a piss take but makes me feel better about the taxi.
