Police and blocking driveways

Sounds like he does not use the drive way anyway, its different if he trapped his car inside the drive but if it appears its never used then its a parking space wasted or unfairly reserved for the home owner.
When I lived in Prague some guy parked his car outside the exit of our building, 400 to 500 parking spaces, one exit so you can imagine I was not pleased when I could not get out of my own building.
someone keys the car, a few years earlier and someone would have set it on fire but that sort of stuff does not happen anymore

Its likely to pull it straight through with that much vaccuum.
Sorry guys, this story ends in disappointment and lack of climax.
The guy who owned the land rover walked up to it from behind and got in, then just started it up and drove off. I don't know if the snorkel was just cosmetic or something or if the wasn't enough foam to completely block it but he didn't seem to have any problem lol.
It did sound terrible (not that he would have heard over his stereo) but I have no idea if that was an air/fuel issue or just how defenders are supposed to sound /shrug.
That's what she said!

Dunno what the normal police response is but someone parked in front of our drive a couple of months back also blocking the pavement and then someone else parked opposite (normal parking spot) narrowing the road - I believe my parents phoned the council who redirected us to the police who said they were already aware of it due to a delivery van being blocked in. After a bit of enquiry they didn't mess about - put the window in pushed it out the way and stuck stickers all over it. When I came back from work the car owner who'd parked and then gone off somewhere on his push bike for the day was remonstrating with one of the original officers who wasn't taking any **** and giving him a proper dressing down for parking like that.
(Not sure if we'd have got the same response if it was just us blocked in by it).

I live about 10 houses along from a junior school and mindless mothers often park across my drive. It's difficult for my wife when she turns up home with our 18 month old daughter to find some idiot blocking access and all the other space nearby taken up.
If I catch them at it I'll do something with shaving foam or butter on the windscreen. It's just not really acceptable on any level to block someone's access because you CBA to walk for a couple of minutes.

Er... it doesn't quite work like that.
The old guy bought a house with a drive, he has the right to use that drive.
If I never use my front garden, does that mean it's "unfairly reserved", and give random strangers off the street the right to have a BBQ on my lawn whenever they fancy it?
Besides, it's already been posted that he does have a car and does use the drive.
If you don't use your front garden then it belongs to the freemen of the land
Aren't they the nutters who believe the law doesn't apply to them?
I wonder if they'd still hold that same opinion when I start smacking them around the head with my Logitech K270...
You don't actually have a right to entry to your drive though, only a right to exit it. So it isn't an offence to park in such a way that prevents entry, but is illegal to park someone in.

How can you exercise your right to exit your drive if it's impossible to park your car there as the driveway is blocked?
