What do you drive? A bus? Can't believe the average car won't get out of there. My neighbour often parks his van outside my house, want to google map it's AB12 4TS, manage to get the Volvo S80 out OK.
Interested in what you drive.
He did say that it was a van, maybe it’s the size of the white one across the street.Interested in what you drive.

Pardon my ignorance in these matters, but is that type of car exempt from having to display a front number plate?
Not exempt, but on the vanishingly small chance the owner gets pulled up for it, I believe it's generally a £100 fine, but max is £1000.Not the end of the world for someone with the readies to buy a CGT.

Standard Bristol. Sorry forgot the picture. This traffic island was often used as a parking space which achieved legendary status in Bristol until the council realised it was not possible to charge to use it so put bollards around it. They’d previously painted the white box on it....

FWIW, the only time I EVER drove onto our drive was with one of the succession of Black Cabs that I owned, every one of them was worth at least double of whatever my wife drove, so they got the safe berth in the integral garage, which had the underneath of a staircase at the far end, meaning that the taxi had to be driven in, to get the bonnet into the space under the stairs, as only then could I close the garage door.
Our house is in a private cul de sac, so there was no passing traffic to worry about when I reversed off, and the drive is long enough that my wife’s car could be put at the extreme front, in order for me to be able to reverse the taxi around it, by going onto the neighbour’s drive, (she only had a small car, and always reversed up to her garage door).
Wow, has anyone been in contact about getting the movie rights for this?Our house is in a private cul de sac, so there was no passing traffic to worry about when I reversed off, and the drive is long enough that my wife’s car could be put at the extreme front, in order for me to be able to reverse the taxi around it, by going onto the neighbour’s drive, (she only had a small car, and always reversed up to her garage door).

Was in mother and child space, so probably a kid in tow, not that I fully understand your comment.
I think he was questioning the age of the kids and whether they warrant a parent and child space.I remember how necessary they were when my kids couldn't walk, and Id have to lock the car, walk away and return with a trolley that could take two infants.
They are supposed to be small in booster seats who require the extra door width, but you will still see families with grown up teenage kids using them, which isn't who they were created for.

don't have fire hydrants in the UK, but we do, and if you park in front of one and the fire department needs access...

We do have fire hydrants in the UK. They’re just usually underground, and indicated by a yellow sign with a black H on. https://cdn.carbuzz.com/gallery-images/840x560/540...
