You could be fined, billed for the cost of any damage to the kerb and the local council could install a bollard on the pavement to prevent access, perhaps even while your vehicle is on the drive, preventing you from exiting your driveway.

Seems one council did decide to install bollards whilst a car was still on the drive

I used to work for a counci and take calls in relation tondropped curbs.
They had a really strict set of rules about who could install one - obviously they could do the work but outside contractors needed indemnity insurance etc.
