Can I find out who is the registered keeper of a car?
Discussion
And if so, where?
I have an issue with somebody intentionally, parking a car (on the highway) across a driveway (with dropped kerb) and blocking access into a property.
The driver has ignored polite notes and continues to park there.
I get a feeling that it's a company car.
The property is my OH's and I've told her to report it the Police but I doubt they'll do anything.
ETA: Can anyone help?

I would assume that preventing you from accessing the property would be classified as an obstruction not an inconvenience.
I could be quite wrong, but I think it's the reverse. Preventing you from accessing your own property is an "inconvenience" and plod won't be interested BUT preventing you from getting your car off your property and onto the public highway is obstruction.mk1fan said:

After i took pictures of said vehicle and after a very sweet exchange of words He shifted it.
Police would come out if blocked in, not for access to property (Well thats what they told me).
First class prick,

I believe you have a good reason for needing the information, just spice it up a bit and say it's been there for several days blocking the drive.
£2.50.
Failing that stick on a few notices on their side window and windscreen in front of the driver. Find some extra strong sticky backed paper.
This will be a pain in the arse for them and should encourage them to find another spot to use.

I was having a similar problem a few years back with a young apprentice builder working on the property opposite - he was being deliberately awkward and so i reported him to the police they told him to shift and if he did it again they would class it as deliberate obstruction which they took delight in telling him was an arrestable offence.
Bingo!
Bingo!
Had a car blocking the driveway, called the police to come and tow it, within 30 mins it was on the back of a transporter.
The look on her face when she came back to no car, "But I was at a conference at the hospital"
If it's blocking access to the road = tow.
If it's blocking access to the driveway = won't be towed.
Have you tried smashing it?

Thanks for the replies guys.
When I say 'access' I mean getting the car in and out of the drive - not walking in and out. We've been out and arrived back to find it parked over the drive during our absence. We've also gone to go out and it's stop us getting the car out.
My current thoughts are to set the alarm off and give them a chance to come out. If they don't, smash the window and roll it off down the road.
Luckily the OH is a lot more pragmatic.
She called the Police last night who gave her the contact number of the Beat Bobby. They said that the BB will contact the owner should they continue to ignore the notes and have a chat.

Are you sure its not Him Blocking your driveway???
Hope you can have this resolved soon though! Dont understand why they would do that! Have you tried being around when they come and collect the car and confronting them? But if you did that you must make sure you can keep your temper!

Sticking notices on the vehicle might amount to criminal damage, if particularly difficult or costing money (e.g. purchase of solvent) to remove.
Smearing the vehicle in jam to attract wasps (although a tad early for them) might be assault.
