Cars parking on private property?

Block him in and stay in you car, if the police do arrive (unlikely) then just move, repeat this a couple of times and he will get fed up of losing money and park elsewhere.

As has been said, block him in, but be ready to move if the police are called.

He will get fed up of it.

There are various things that you could do to dissuade him, which are illegal, but sometimes when people won't be nice, you have to resort to them.

Try putting out a cone, worth a try.

Perfectly legal to do, you are not damaging his car so you cannot be done for criminal damage,

Not legal at all and if reported you may well find yourself in court.
There are a few acts which would cover this, the main one being the Anti-social behaviour act.
This act which make it an offence to "damage property etc which involves only the painting or writing on, or the soiling, marking or other defacing of, any property by whatever means"

Also any damage doesn't have to be permanent for it to be illegal, which is why the Criminal damage act has been used to prosecute fly posters in the past.

Make life as difficult for the taxi driver as possible, but stick to doing things that are within the law and which won't end up with you getting into difficulties with the police or courts.

If it's one of our taxis, you WILL be prosecuted for every penny you cost us and our drivers, plus our costs.

You have no right to withhold your phone number, and our software (used by some 30% of companies in the country) will decode it. I know that the other large software supplier (about 25% share) has similar features.

Before I sold the old company, four youths ended up spending time in a YOI, and their parents ended up with a £26k bill for doing this.

you cant clamp or box his car in, u can be fined and jailed, your landlord cant chain him in either, the only thing is a chain across when only residents are there then give them keys, anything else they can ring police and you are in big trouble

sometimes its best to take the law into your own hands. just clamp his car down for 4 hours, inconvenience him like he has inconvenienced you. He will get the message and stop doing it again.

Just out of curiosity, what did you do in your company when your cab drivers received complaints for behaving illegally or irresponsibly, for example, parking on private property?

As I had no response to my question, may I try again?
So do the new rules mean you can just park on someone's driveway with impunity so long as their car is out and you are not blocking a car in? If I come home late and can't get parked in the road, I can park in anyone's driveway that is free and there is nothing they can legally do? Is that what we are now saying?
