Parking over my driveway

Yep, that's the sort of thing - I will use that version next time! :T

All of that is too bad. If you don't like it, live somewhere else, perhaps somewhere with double yellow lines outside your house. No one has the right to tell anyone that they can't park where it is legal to park on the public road.

If I had one of those "messages" on my car, I'd tell you where to shove it.

How about common courtesy ? Doesn't it exist in your world ?

TBH if someone put a message on my window and i'm LEGALLY within my rights to park there and there is no parking restictions and not blocking anyones disabled access, i would throw it away and ignore, then await for you to approach me. i would take on you view, then tell you i'm legal the parkings legal, now go away and stop trying to be the big i am a local hero.

Isn't there a point in life where it's not all about legalities though?

I had the same issue with next door, we both have drives at the back of our gardens which is also the entrance to the garden, accessed by a private drive off the main road..
They used to think it was alright to park so i couldn't get my car out, as well as using their bay they wanted to park over mine as well, as well as their grown kids etc..
I got fed up with having to ask them to move their car so I could get mine out, i've got 3 kids as well and I have a disibility so am unable to unload without being in my drive...

My house is council and theirs private so I knew the council would back me up anyway I didn't need to..

One day I came home and a visitor to theirs was blocking my drive as he was washing his car, I couldn't contain myself and erupted..I said how sick I was of them thinking they own everywhere etc..nice wasn't getting me anywhere..

I didn't speak to them for a year, and had previously given the wife lifts and babystuff for their kids etc, I refused to even smile at them, til one day they took a parcel in for me and brought it round, the wife apologised and stated it was cos he had health issues, I replied that's fine accepted it and pointed out that I did too...

They are now friendly and so am I and since that day I erupted they have never parked over my drive, he even cut my grass the other week, didn't ask him he just did it...

Maybe getting to know your neighbour a little better would make them shift, after all they only need to use one car at a time and he could easily block his MRS in.. it's plain selfish...

Exactly!!

Just because an action is not 'illegal' does not necessarily make it 'right'.

For example, there is nothing 'illegal' about PPCs' sending out a barrage of threatening demands in respect of 'invoices' they have no intention of enforcing through the courts - so is it right for them to do so I ask?

Some here would appear to think it is.

one day you will come a cropper doing this.

how would you like it if someone posted a letter through your door saying your house is in not welcome and you need to move?

what would you think and admittedly you say that you would ignore these letters and laugh if you had one so you do this for fun and to see reactions on peoples faces when they open them.

lifes too short to be messaging windscreens for the sake of parking.

Now you are being daft!

Unless your road is being used as a car park because people are scared to park in the nearby free retail car park, even though they work there, you won't understand anyway.

As I said to Flyboy, like you I would just laugh and throw away such a note on the windscreen. But you would be surprised how many people it works with - and if we do nothing then the people in my road and 2 neighbouring streets will find ourselves in a worse position with unwanted, unworkable Council restrictions.

You cannot just paint lines on the road when you feel like it.

You can where we live, but the local utility company will be around the next week to dig it up again.
