WWYD if someone parked in front of your gated drive, meaning you couldn't use it? Day two now...

Get it towed away for obstruction?

Nanasueathome · 12/06/2018 19:24

Do you know who the person is who has parked there?

TingleTots · 12/06/2018 19:26

No idea who it is no.

Who would I call for it to be towed? That would be perfect!

Not a lot you can do according to this

www.gloucestershirelive.co.uk/news/what-can-parked-car-blocking-1097684

which is bloody annoying!

'Police may try and contact the driver to ask them to move their vehicle but they are not bound to do so'

TingleTots · 12/06/2018 19:36

That's what I expected Sad

First off a polite note on the car if that doesnt work then get multiple A3 size printed pages printed "you park like a cunt" stick one on the windscreen every time they do it

ObiJuanKenobi · 12/06/2018 19:47

Day two and no diagram?! Poor form Op Wink

Rocinante1 · 12/06/2018 19:51

Any chance your gates open outwards and will hit the car? If they do, I'd give one a good swing and if anyone complains just say you bumped your gate and couldn't grab it in time.

Have you left a note on the windscreen?

If you have the time, sit in your drive with a book and wait for them?

Or... hire a fork lift and move the car to another part of the street, then claim you know nothing!

Rocinante1 · 12/06/2018 19:52

Cover the car in post it notes! Like, thousands if notes over the entire car.

TingleTots · 12/06/2018 19:55

See I've been thinking sharpie, but would I get into trouble?
Diagram to follow...

Do you know some people who could pick it up and move it?

GinandGingerBeer · 12/06/2018 19:58

Pick it up and move it into a ditch
It's only tiny Grin
Excellent diagram OP

PissOffMauriel · 12/06/2018 19:58

I love the 'You park like a cunt' poster - do it OP!

Although doesn't help you now if you need to get out.

GinandGingerBeer · 12/06/2018 19:59

Lol @ x post Grin

Heratnumber7 · 12/06/2018 20:01

Good diagramme. 9/10.

BlackAmericanoNoSugar · 12/06/2018 20:03

Give it a shove and see if you can set the alarm off, if the owner is nearby they might come out to check it.

JennyOnAPlate · 12/06/2018 20:06

I would accidentally damage it whilst opening my gates.

TingleTots · 12/06/2018 20:06

So many great ideas! I think I might shove it first Grin

Unfortunately the gates open inwards Envy

Nanasueathome · 12/06/2018 20:07

Call 101 and see what they advise
They may be able to track the owner or it may even be stolen and dumped

TingleTots · 12/06/2018 20:10

I logged in on our local police website, it says that the contact centre will be in touch within two hours. I'm not expecting them to do anything though.

Also checked the reg on DVLA, it's taxed but no MOT

OP posts:
Knittedfairies · 12/06/2018 20:11

Has it been abandoned, d’you think?

TingleTots · 12/06/2018 20:12

I think they may be unable to use it due to having no MOT, so they have parked it up and left it

OP posts:
Rocinante1 · 12/06/2018 20:15

Oh, it it's just been abandoned and blocking you in then I'd be making a nuisance of myself to the police until they came out to deal with it.

Downeyhouse · 12/06/2018 20:17

No solution to offer but that is the best parking diagram I have ever seen on MN!!!
