The BAD PARKING thread [vol4]
Discussion
No photos due to arguing. Returned home yesterday after a trip out with the family, driving along the road to my house and I see a car parked directly across my drive, no cars either side. As I get closer, there's someone sat in the car, looking down at his phone. I indicate onto my drive and the chap in the car looks up, sees me, puts his hands up and shrugs, then looks down at his phone. I pip, he starts shouting at me, waving his hands around, so I point to my drive, he shrugs again and looks down at his phone. I pip longer, he gets very angry and reverses just enough to let me squeeze on, then as I'm pulling on he drives forward at my car?!! I eventually get on the drive, get out and see him parked back over my drive, engine off, so I go over.
"Don't block my drive"
"F..k off, there's loads of room"
"You're blocking my drive entirely"
"Yeah what, it's not illegal to block drives you tw.t"
So I get the red mist, open his car door and tell him to do one otherwise I'll drag him out and rearrange his teeth. He looks worried then says,
"Get out my car, it's illegal to be in my car"
So I slam his door, he starts shouting at me as I walk off, then wheelspins off as I turn around to go back.
Lad must have been 18, no idea what his problem was. Just seemed to want to block my drive just to be annoying, despite there being no cars either side of the drive. As he wheelspun off, various other cars pipped him as he narrowly avoided crashing.

If he was blocking you from getting into your drive, there is nothing the police could do. If he was blocking you from getting out, then as per the new link above, they will do something. As for his parking, totally stupid and inconsiderate. "Don't block my drive"

I'm buying a house that has off street parking and a drop kerb, it also has a white H (or I depending on your view point) in front. Not enforceable but should make a point.
Should have mentioned, my ST was parked on the drive and we have a dropped kerb, I was in the family 5008 bus, therefore there was a car on the drive when he decided to park over it. Mind boggles tbh as like I say, either side of the drive there were no cars at all, it's like he went to the effort of parking over the drive. Was more his attitude that annoyed me as he was waving his arms around and shouting like I was in the wrong, then going to the effort of pulling back over the drive just to be a dick. All he needed to do was move a few feet either way and there'd had been no situation. Suspect he's the sort that plays the big man when he's in his protective metal bubble, shouting at other drivers. One day, he'll wind up the wrong person who won't think twice about dragging him out the car, he certainly seemed surprised when I opened his door, "It's illegal to be in my car".

Blocking a drop kerb is an offence in itself...
Didnt think it was an offence blocking an empty drive, only if there was a vehicle in it?Uncool said:

Why go to all the inconvenience of having to park 20 meters away from the door when there's a nice empty loading bay?

In December in Nottingham they make it no right turn into a busy car park in Upper Parliament Street. This involves signage showing how to drive around a block to turn in left & also bollards fixed into the cat's eyes to "prevent" right turn. Unfortunately there is a pelican crossing a few yards from the car park entrance.
You'd be amazed how many muppets turn right by cutting across the pelican crossing & traverse the car park exit to nip in. This risks life & limb merely to avoid a short trip around the block.
These dimwits should not be allowed to drive. (or even go out in public)
