It is not too much of a dissimilar post from many others here, so would not surprise me terribly that there are people on here who think keying a car is OK.
Big difference between keying a car for fun, and keying it because they have blocked your parking space, intentionally, or repeatedly. Do I think the second case is okay? Well let's just say if I saw a neighbour doing it I wouldn't say anything ..fido said:

keying anyones car is not ok
Is parking on the start of the dropped kerb allowed?
I've always avoided it when parking elsewhere but seem to have a few people doing it to us lately and when politely challenged on it they just say well you can still get out. I used to have my old car parked between mine and the neighbours drive and now the commuters are coming in and squeezing into a space big enough for a Ka/Fiesta.

the local authority - but being a Lib-Dem Greeny dominated waste of space they couldn't care less and said call the police............! (Maybe I should have explained we couldn't get out bicycles out)
Don't confuse the regular council workers with whatever political parties happen to be Councillors, they are entirely unrelated. When I worked for the council I didn't even know what parties were councillors, because frankly, it had very little bearing on most of us did. Keep your ill-informed gibberish off PH thanks. paulwirral said:
I have this problem a lot , I live in a double fronted house with a dropped kerb over the width of the house with some flats next door . I had a problem with a swaggering shaven headed moron who I knew and I also knew a few of his mates , he started parking his van more and more over the drive . I asked him not to , told him not to or I would put his window through and move it myself and ended up beating on his door and threatening to kick f
k out of him ! That seemed to do the trick , he started bleating to his girlfriend to call the police as my wife stood between us telling me to stop . Don't bother with legalitys or daft tricks , if your capable just meet it head on , it does work !
Meanwhile, many of us live in the supposedly civilised real world, where we don't want to become the problems we wish to see gone. Being an aggressive bellend not only drags you down below their level, but also totally undermines your desire for rules to be upheld. I'm not of the stature that I could comfortably go up to my neighbours and physically threaten them, and if I was I certainly wouldn't. If you are, and believe that it's the right thing to do, then you are probably a meat-headed former (or current) bully who is used to using physical threats because you lack the wherewithal to do anything else. But since your post is sheer nonsense, I'm sure you were just trying to look tough on the internet.k out of him !

No, that is not allowed, and actually can be dealt with by the police - and yes, they actually will.I've always avoided it when parking elsewhere but seem to have a few people doing it to us lately and when politely challenged on it they just say well you can still get out.

Hence the question. It is not too much of a dissimilar post from many others here, so would not surprise me terribly that there are people on here who think keying a car is OK.course it was joke!!!! Although it does happen.... watch the video of the C63 AMG in Knightsbrigde being a complete knob end for keep revving and the local resident loosing it by scratching it in full view of a the plod
We have a driveway and one of neighbours had hired a skip. They don't have a driveway. They thought it was acceptable put a skip on our drive without asking and whilst I was out because they hadn't sorted out a permit to put it on the road and the skip lorry was too big to reach their allocated parking space.
It is all now water under the bridge, but at the time I wasn't too happy!

What are the dashed lines for - does that imply some sort of parking arrangement?

Nothing could be further from the truth , the guy who parked there blocked my drive completely, he'd done similar to other residents in the street as did his girlfriend with her car regardless of the fact they have allocated parking . It's a matter of respect , I don't and wouldn't park over people's drive , I don't expect other people to do it to me or my friends . Instead of putting nails under his tyres , dropping the oil from his van and various other revenge tactics I sorted the problem quickly and in a manner that the moron understood . He never parked there again and moved soon after . I'd guess the knockers of my actions have never had this problem and probably don't fully understand how annoying it can be , I'm not trying to look tough on the internet, it's just that some people don't understand anything else .

It's a bit rude, but technically they are doing nothing wrong.I've always avoided it when parking elsewhere but seem to have a few people doing it to us lately and when politely challenged on it they just say well you can still get out.

From the Other Side of the situation - I have a lovely letter all in capitals that was left under my wiper one Sunday in late December, with a comprehensive explanation of the writer's displeasure of my parking in the street outside their house (not, you will note, over their driveway...just, in the street). The street in question was practically devoid of cars, and every house there had a driveway (most empty)
He/she was of the opinion that I was rudely ignoring the parking restrictions and should have been using one of the many car parks available (nearest about half a mile away, actually).
He/she pays £100 a year for the right to park in that residential restriction zone, so he/she had taken a picture of my car, time and date stamped, and would be sending it to the Council for them to Take Action Which They Always Do.
It closed with HAPPY XMAS!
As I had no idea who had left this merry missive, I sent a Christmas Card to the closest address, with a picture of the street's parking restriction sign showing the "Weekdays only" limitation.
I guessed that, if it wasn't that resident, they'd probably know to whom it should be forwarded.
