Car has broken down and I have asked many occasions to get car moved

1 tow truck to garage
2 hand brake off and move it
3 contact landlord to sort this out

AIBU to wanting to use my drive way??
and it infuriating they basically look at me like I’m mad and I shouldn’t have access to my driveway

can I pay a tow person to remove the vehicle?

Isn't it some level of offense to block a dropped curb? Not sure whether the police would be interested unfortunately.

Is the car taxed/mot?

I don't see why they're unwilling to push it though. Of course it shouldn't be blocking your drive. Unless it's only been there for 10 minutes or something.

Weird. What do they actually say when you request it be moved?

How long has it been there.

YABU as you have not provided the obligatory diagram. This is MN law, where parking issues are discussed z
