Can we report a vehicle outside our house?

Why do people complain when people park opposite their drive? They don't own the road and if someone wants to park there then fine. You can stil get in and out.

As for leaving notes on windscreens, there is a guy near me that does that when you park on the opposite side of the road to his house. Needless to say it got thrown straight in the bin and if ever there is a (very occasional) need to park for a short time off my drive then that is now my favourite place on the street.

So wasting police time then. Quite a serious offence.

As i said at the start of this NO i do not own the rd and YES they can i guess park there as it is a rd for anyone to use BUT my gripe was that it was 1 parked there and obviously just used to collect things out of and looks like it's never been serviced in it's life.. and 2 causing some problems getting in and out of our drive..
The main point is they live quite a way up the rd and there are numerous parking spaces outside which i have no idea why they don't use them...
To those of you who have said things like:

How dare they park in their own road! and

Well lets hope no one does anything to cause you a bit of a cause to moan..

Well, they can mind their own business and accept that they may own their property, but not the road or pavement outside it.

You can check the insurance status of the vehicle by going to https://www.askmid.com (do note the disclaimers)

Id suggest that everyone posting on this thread saying that the OP should just put up with it and the van owner has every right to park there, has obviously never experienced this sort of thing. It is extremely annoying not to be able to get in and out of your own property easily, and as the OP says, this is completely needless as there are plenty of spaces along by where the owner lives.

I too would think that the OP should get over it, if the van had only been there a day or two, or even if it was only there every so often, but the fact that its been there for weeks and used only as, what appears to be, storage, wholly justifies her gripe.

Lets all have a bit of understanding shall we.

I parked outside my next-door-but-one neighbours for just under 48 hours. They called the police to complain... saying they didn't know whose car it was and it had been there for over 3 days. The police found time to call round to my house twice! (first time just my builder was in).

I was asked to park more considerately....

The OP just wants the van moved, if the van blocked the drive then how else would she be able to get to work
