Nobody blaming the van driver yet?

Unusual.

There are situations where, because of visibility problems, all that you can do is just move very slowly and hope that the road is clear.

Not if you’re reversing. If you can’t see clearly, you’re expected to get help. (Highway Code 202).

To be honest I was cursing in my head the van being parked there, none of this would have happened if it wasn't parked there at the time, but it never usually is. It's just sod's law.

Can't exactly go ranting to my neighbour about parking his van in front of his own drive, but I will be mentioning it and hope he doesn't in future

Also learn from this and reverse in and drive out.

Or get someone to see you out into the road. Like in the old days

There was an older chap trying to parallel park in town the other day, guided by his missus who was standing in the bay - and a right cod was being made.

I'm still not sure if he's utterly incompetent, or simply massively hen-pecked.
