See above. (post #79)

Bit of a bold statement... do you know that for sure? And as for "Why should he spend money on buses or a cheap runaround", well that's what most people have to do. As I've said before, I doubt that the truck would be insured for personal use. When insuring a car, one of the normal questions relates to commuting to/from work and business use. I'm sure that a commercial policy will work the other way round.

But this isn't about his employers insurance policy. It's about why he shouldn't park the vehicle (which doesn't appear to be much larger than some vans) he uses for work and commuting on a public road like every other road tax payer... then about why he shouldn't have to spend money on a car to commute just to appease op... so how it's gone so off topic that you're questioning his insurance policy is beyond me.

Though business policies will often include SD&P in addition to the specialist cover required. So to the above poster, no it doesn't necessarily simply work in the reverse order.

What I find amazing is the number of people who only think of themselves, if everybody was reasonable, these issues wouldn't even arise.

Phrases like.... I have a right
I'm not breaking any laws
There's nothing to say I can't

Just think - how will it affect somebody else, personally I would't park opposite anybodies drive if it meant they couldn't just drive out.

Well you simply cannot appease everybody.
The van has to be parked down somebodies street. Maybe the guy parked his van somewhere else last year and only parks there now because he was being considerate to residents in that area.

On that note, lets also ban parents with Children from driving to schools where they park on double yellows, on pavements, and every other place possible - leaving residents with no where to park and with great difficulty getting out. Oh wait, I can't have everything how I want it, this is life.

There's one flaw in your argument... 'he' isn't the road tax payer... his employer is.

Look, arguing the toss sin't getting the OP anywhere. Neither you or I know the layout of the road or whether the OP's complaint is legitimate or not.

But it's the OP who has come here for advice which is what the forum is all about. So, that's what I am doing. What's your input then?

Just let a tyre or two down in the middle of the night. Worked when i had a similar problem.

Ye, that could work. Or it could see your window being smashed or your jaw being broken.. or something.

He may not be but who actually pays the tax is not really relevant.

Thought that would have been clear. I think op should look at the situation from his perspective. And accept sometimes in life you have to just get on with things.

Although I suppose the advice could be to send the wife on a driving course to learn to maneuver the car.

No it dosn't! It should be parked in an appropriate location... like at the premises of the RK.

Although this is a ridiculous comparison to the OP's case, it is also a bug-bear of mine!

And what if the OP's complaint is really justified and the road is indeed too narrow? Is that your advice?

Go away, your posts are rubbish and not even relevant to the topic, you're wasting site space.

And what advice exactly have you bought to the thread?? Pot, kettle, black. You will soon be able to open a tea room!
