Just keep knocking.

At the very least he won't get much sleep.

Just as an aside, why do you need to reverse out with the hedges? Generally much safer to reverse in and drive out forwards so you can see...


Another vote for block him in here.


The very passive aggressive would let the tyres down. You don't actually want to do damage, that's very illegal but flat tyres are less risky. If nothing else he'll need a pump.

Because it's effectively in and out, although not signed to specify one as in and one as out. There's room for two cars abreast so if he parked considerately I'd be able to drive past him and exit using the other access.

Letting tyres down is seen by the BIB as criminal damage and is likely to get you a battering from the intellectually challenged Neanderthal owner of the vehicle.

Nails or broken glass casually thrown under the tyres as you walk by in the dark is less likely to get you caught.

Actually it isn't.


At best both would be "Causing Danger to other road users" Section 22A RTA


A person is guilty of an offence if he intentionally and without lawful authority or reasonable cause—

(a)

causes anything to be on or over a road, or

(b)

interferes with a motor vehicle, trailer or cycle, or

(c)

interferes (directly or indirectly) with traffic equipment,
in such circumstances that it would be obvious to a reasonable person that to do so would be dangerous

If he is upsetting all the other residents as well then complain to the management company as a united front and in the mean time take it in turns to block them in.
