Neighbours obstructing my driveway: to box them in?

[PoliticalPossum]

Neighbours have form for this. Cul-de-sac that leads into a 40mph main road - so people don’t want to park on main road (even though they absolutely can and many do). Each driveway has space for one car, except mine as we have space for two cars after we extended driveway (removing entire front garden) and dropped curb. All legal.

Came back from my morning dog walk to find neighbour A (who I dislike on principle as they often have crap log cutting equipment for their wood burner or skips on their driveway and so end up causing chaos by obstructing driveways) have fully obstructed one side of my driveway (having parked bumper to bonnet - literally touching - other neighbour B who I really like car). DH parked on driveway. I’ve just parked across my driveway bumper to bonnet with neighbours A, who watched me do it.

They’ll need to go out soon, I know from experience (they always go out about midday on a Saturday). I know Neighbour B is out all day so it’ll be me who needs to move. Needless to say I won’t be.

I’m so damn sick of them. No one else on the road (15 houses!!!) does this. Just them. Every bloody day.

Diagram?
Do block the fucker in though

Looking forward to update

I’m torn on this. Obviously is cheeky and wrong to block someone’s driveway, but then I also think it’s cheeky to double the size of your driveway when you live in a cul de sac because you are effectively robbing all your neighbours of being able to use the space on a public bit of road when needed.

Nothing stopping the neighbours doing this to their own properties to create bigger driveways for themselves.

The bottom line is, you're not meant to park across a dropped kerb. So of they're blocked in, fuck 'em. Hopefully they get the message..

Diagram please. You know the rules.

But yes, BTB.

Time for that long relaxing bath. Or maybe a bit of a walk from home. Is it too early for a drink?

Yanbu. And you’re free to make your driveway bigger, they can do the same if they want.

Isn't it a shame that you've had a couple of glasses of wine and can't move you car and for insurance reasons no one else can drive it.

Oh dear!

Block them in, then you a DH take a taxi to your nearest town for a lovely day out before coming back all boozed up this evening.

OP all parking threads MUST have an attached diagram! Don't you know the rules?

Nonsense, they can park outside their own house or extend their own driveway. They do not have the right to block peoples driveway.

Too early for drink. Unfortunately you've taken strong cold and flu medication which says you can't drive

Not my best work…but wanted to get it up before they appear and ask me to move.

It's midday. Perfectly fine for a drink. Yes they are CF. They know they are.

I would also like a diagram

Posted too soon. Diagram appreciated.
Can they not park in front of their own house due to car B?

Why don't A and B park on their side? Why didn't B park on their drive?

"has a nice cat" 😆

Excellent diagram; love the dog and the aside about Neighbour C.

A is CF for parking across dropped kerb. They FA and need to FO for a day or two.

I would also have blocked them in. Hopefully you’re halfway down a bottle of wine now!

This would piss me right off. I'd refuse to move and tell them that if they keep parking in front of your driveway, you will do this every time they park there.

Excellent diagram 👏

Really?!?
I mean all the other houses couldn’t have done that themselves and given up their front garden too for example?

Get the wine open!!

If they hadn't extended their driveway then there would be another car parked on the road anyway so it's swings and roundabouts really isn't it.
Cf can't park across OP's drive.

@PoliticalPossum id go out fir the day - on foot.
Ofc you'll miss all the grumble and them being frustrated but then they won’t be able to say you ignored them/refused to move/fog them off because you’re an awful NDN.
And you’ll still make their life a pain
