Can we report a vehicle outside our house?

I didn't think the highway code was "the law" anyway?

looks like the OP has been bundled into the back of said van from the lack of update...

So it's illegal to drive forwards into a driveway? Really? Sounds very surprising.

Nope, the illegal bit comes when you reverse out from your drive into the road, driving in is fine as long as your drive is big enough to turn round in

you could buy one of those driveway turntable thingies......

Get the index number (reg ) and go on www.askmid.com this will say if it is insured then tell the police.

Go and let the tyres down and report it as dumped.Im sure the Council act on dumped cars as they did round here last year.

Ah - good idea! Break the law by causing a criminal act..... :eek:

I'm not sure that is a good idea, do you? We all have our blasted crosses to bear when it comes to selfish neighbours and their parking..... but if they are taxed etc, nowt you can do about it - apart from approaching them and asking them politely, if they could move, just a tad, if they wouldn't mind... A simple approach, but it may work.

True story. A friend had the same problem with a huge van parked opposite his drive. Nobody was interested so after 3 months a "call" was made to the local police saying they had just seen what looked like a firmarm removed from the van. Went the next day. Sorted.

So wasting police time then. Quite a serious offence.

Thanks for the replys..ok well firstly it is a private rd not a main rd so i am as far as i'm aware allowed to drive in and out of my drive whichever way round i please, the neighbours all drive in forwards too.? Our drive is partially a car port and narrowish and with me having a 3 dr car and having to get kids in and out (im a childminder) i find it easier to drive in forwards and reverse out normally..i know this is my problem as such but still don't see why someone should be allowed to make my life difficult.

The note left by a neighbour yesterday said there was plenty of room outside of a certain number house further up our rd where they have there own large car park which makes us think they may live there but unsure still why they would leave it here..when they arrive they get stuff out in various other vehicles and drive off..not to there they supposedly live though..

Will leave till tommorow as dh on duty as he is a police special and he is going to check it on the system, the note has been removed so we are not sure if they have done it or it has blown off..will keep you updated!

didn't see the other replys!! the reason i never replied sooner was i have had trouble with my pc so now on the laptop, you will see one of my threads is asking why it is not typing properly..
Also the car turntable reply?? urm why would i want to and why should i? i have a perfectly good drive to get in and out of 'normally' if some lazy so and so would park where they were supposed to.
I am not the sort of person to do anything to the vehicle in my eyes that makes me just as bad as them really.

Very handy, theres a car been left with no tax in a car park where my rented out flat is. Will check the registration next time im there.
