Parking over my driveway

In relation to Pollyonamission what I would do is keep an exact diary on the problems you are having with this scroat.

Dates times phographs etc, if your phone has a recording device on it then record ALL conversations you have with him when you ask him to move the vehicle, if he gets abusive then you have an actual recording of it.

Should it then ever come to it getting legal you then have both written - photographic and verbal evidence.

Anyway, where is lawabidingcitizen when you need him? Surely this is a problem that a PPC could deal with!! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Can posters stop stating highway code rules :wall:

The HIGHWAY CODE IS NOT A LEGAL ACT ! the highway code is merely a set of advisory rules.

If it were the Road Traffic Act that would be a different matter.

Personally if you dont have a car then I cant see why the big fuss ? you can still access your property by foot cant you ? you can still take wheeled bins up and down your drive cant you ? visitors can still access your property by foot cant they ?

If you answered yes to any of the above then get over it and move on

TMA04 i have quoted from-- the traffic managment act 2004

Parking in front of drop kerbs has been against the rules in London since Section 14 of the London Local Authorities and Transport for London Act 2003 came into force.
"Part 6 of the Traffic Management Act 2004 repeals section 14 and gives all local authorities in England with civil parking enforcement powers the ability to take action when a vehicle is parked alongside a dropped kerb in a Special Enforcement Area (that is, an area where parking is, in all other instances, permitted)

How about getting 10 of these from eBay for <£5.00



You could put them onto the drivers door, with a little note inside not to park on the pavement etc.

Or one of these every night might start to annoy things..

But that's what private 'parking' companies do - impersonate authority. It scares/misleads people into thinking they've got a fine and is not something I would suggest anyone does.

When I see a car parked in round here with a driver who is seen jaunting off to work around the corner (where there's a car park!) I put a note on it saying 'thankyou for not parking here again. This road is needed for residents' cars and your car is not welcome. If this car is seen here again you may find it gets reported to the Council as abandoned' ...or similar. That's not impersonating authority but it's just threatening enough!

It annoys people to see they've been noticed. I have watched the driver return on occasion and chuck the note away - but then never seen the same cars return. It works to make them aware they've been noticed.

They are known as courtesy lines and have no enforcement and doing so without permission from the highways agency or council, will have you in hot water.

Yes, but they work. And what hot water would I be in? Free market, I ask the council's contractors to paint something for me, they do it for a much cheaper price than the council. If the contractors didn't pass my £20 back to the council then I'm very shocked .

Why not just ask them to park somewhere else, instead of getting them into trouble with their employers.

i would but i never seem to see them getting in or out and dont want to have to go speak to them by knocking on neighbours door as its not her fault and probly doesnt even know they doing it
