Bloke uses our road as a Car Park

It's a narrow road and his wing mirrors are not tucked it, not sure if that's a help or a hindrance.
 
Put a colander on your head and do a mean crap on the bonnet, that will show them you mean business. Then do a **** all over your house and road to mark your territory.
 
We used to park our cars either side so close that there was no way they could move their car, let alone get it out. When the offender came to our door to ask us to move our cars, we weren't very obliging. My housemate being a 20 stone guy and the guy got the message pretty sharpish.
 
what if the problem were to grow and more and more people parked their cars outside people's houses for days on end?

Won't happen. Most people park in the morning and drive home at night. This unfortunate chap probably just has to work away through the week.
 
Only reasonable thing you can do OP is contact the council and request that they put up no parking between 12pm and 1pm or something like that. That should stop him leaving the car there all day without any real effect on residents parking, only problem is if the council don't enforce it then its pretty worthless.

As others have said you don't own the road, yes its a minor pain but you have no right to dictate how others use the road.
 
I checked your profile assuming you were 14 or something... Grow up.

Yes dad, troll.

I was mearly pointing out that it's a narrow road, I know my wing mirrors were left out one night and my neighbour rang my bell and told me, he had his taken off once and was concerned, might be worth while putting a note onto his car say this.
 
Just leave a polite note on his windscreen and ask him to park somewhere else. If he still parks there afterwards then get a few mates and bump it out of the way.
 
If you want a nice pathetic passive aggressive way to annoy him away, those white address label stickers can be a right **** to remove from glass, whilst remaining non destructive.

Had someone do that to me when they took exception to me not quite being 100% on a friends driveway when I visited.
 
Just be glad you don't have a Ford Transit Dropwell parked right in front of your house. The boyfriend of the one of my neighbours parks his works one right in front of our house every 2nd weekend... Asked him to move it, he just looks at us and says "where else am I gonna park it?" and walks away.

Really nothing you can do apart from, as said, block him in and leave a note saying 'please come to ..... and I'll move my car' that way you get the chance to speak with him.
If he's not seen your neighbour try and bs him, tell him it's an old couple that really need to park infront of their home especially at winter incase the paths freeze up.
 
put eggs on his window screen :D

I feel you pain , I live near the Newcastle football stadium (can see this from my window as it's just at the bottom of the road I live on)/city centre, so where I live we get all the professionals parking there cars to avoid paying the car parks less than a mile from where I live.

on match days the whole area if overwhelmed with people parking in every spot they can find

This, I worked as sub contractor for Surrey Police back in the day, we would legally remove car they had instructed us too move. No tax/licence and the like.

We had to put stickers on the car explaining why is was being towed ect, I used to put them (around a4 size) right in the way of the drivers view.

When they came to collect they would spent around an hour trying to peel it off, this was especially good after they had spent 20 mins swearing at us all in the office. Needless to say we would go outside for a nice sit down and a smoke right next to them! It's amazing how you can find things to laugh about when you know it's winding someone up.
 
Wow, you're one of those guys. My father is too, goes mental if he can't park right outside the house.

No the Op is even more mental! It ain't even parked outside his house as they have a driveway!!

Just leave your neighbours to deal with it. It's outside their house not yours so why do you even care?!
 
Throw eggs at the car, blame "them kids up the road".

Or alternatively, block him in with a couple of cars.... or the white sticker thing, that sounds quite good :)

This happens sometimes on our road. Its a pain to get off your drive when there is somebody parked opposite.
