parking woes - house opposite regularly blocks my drive
- Thread starter fRostiE
- Start date
I like how this has turned from suggestions to "you're drivings ****, sort your life out"
but meh, like a quiz show... I've started so I'll finish
whats this suppose to show?
oh, now you edit your pics...
Anyway theres is miles of room to pull out, your taking a wide angle out of your drive on your example pics
same unless its an abnormally narrow street
even the photo shows the wheels totally not on full lock. its tight yes but if i was that worried i would widen the entrance a bit
i really dont think that them or visitors parking outside their own home is being unreasonable

they are, she was out shopping with her mother (who lives in the car outside which she has parked)
does that picture not help to illustrate how narrow both the drive and the road are?
but he is not blocking him in or out the op is just being lazy

Why the hell do they park in the street when they have got a drive anyway?
Im guessing by the amout of pugs in that area they are old people.

I like this approach, or just knock your wall down, open plan driveways are all the rage, maybe
not really it looks like many streets round here that where made in the 50s/60s when cars wherent massive
my grandad for example had to knock down and rebuild his wall because a new shape clio doesnt physically fit through the gap !

This. Seems you've tried to be polite about it but with no avial. Go round acting like a grumpy git, they'll soon get the message and get tired of it.
tell that to the primary schools round here where lazy parents line either side of the streets with people carriers and 4x4s . the council stuck bollards up so now they all park on the road at either side :/ . they even show up 45 minutes before school finishes for the privelage despite there being a HUGE car park 500m from the school
Yep - i have tried and its amazing how hostile old people can be when they've lived on the road for 40 years and i've only lived here for 18 months - this young whipper snapper trying to actually use his drive

Yeah - knocking the wall down is an option we've discussed before, but i like having gates and don't want to have to spend money, that in my mind i shouldn't have to, on a new pair
I cannot stand people who park on the roads when they have their own driveway. It's an act of pure laziness.
Either way you only have a two options. Take it on the chin and widen the entrance/exit so it's more convenient for you to access.
Or secondly start a neighbour war, and start parking your own car across your drive. But at least park on the pavement, at least any cars using the street would require the neighbour to move their car. But i guess in the mean time any member of public could call the police out because you're obstructing a pavement. Which would leave the last option of racing them home to park in the street.

They're retired
The cars that persistently block the driveway are that of the daughter and son. I cant win They're retired
Keep knocking then. Hell as soon as they pull up go and knock once they've had time to sit down in the house then just drive around the block once
