Another Parking Thread..
http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/amiibeingunreasonable/2577631-another-parking-thread

(See above post for background info)

Annoying neighbours have continued this silly parking nonsense and even called my letting agent and complained that we parked on the road, agent told him to leave us alone and stop harassing everyone for parking legally on the public highway.

Neighbours have a new game of parking over the dropped kerb to my two spaces so I keep having to get them to move it.
Phoned the council and they said unless their car is blocking the entire dropped kerb they won't do anything about it aslong as the car is road worthy and taxed it's allowed to be there. Fine never had a problem with them parking there unless it's over my entrance.

Yesterday I came home and they have a new car - it looks like a bit of a banger and doesn't have number plates on front or back just one blue tacked to the windscreen. It's over the dropped kerb by about half a car, but my cars not available after a minor accident so doesn't matter.

Had a Google and its SORN so shouldn't be parked on the public highway.

I normally wouldn't bother but they are such arsehats and reported us for parking legally on the road.

So WIBU to report the car as untaxed and on the public highway to the DVLA?

Half think it's super petty but the other half of me thinks fuck it they started it.

Report it. In fact, PM me with the Reg and the address and I will do it too, we can all complain and hope that the police move it sooner.

How are your twins?

After all the arsing about they've done before (I remember your first thread!), report it without a second thought and then make yourself a nice smug cup of tea.

honeysucklejasmine · 23/08/2016 11:37

Definitely report. What a twat he is.

WindInThePussyWillows · 23/08/2016 11:45

Twins are lovely little 4 month olds now, thank you for asking Grin

Gone out for the day but will report back with updates. I wonder how long these things take to get actioned?

Well done reporting to both. They reap what they sow. Nasty beggars.

forumdonkey · 23/08/2016 21:59

Is it insured? Have you checked online?

WindInThePussyWillows · 23/08/2016 22:10

Not sure how to check insurance?

I'm guessing it was a present for their son as he's got loads of friends round tonight I'm guessing for a birthday.
He's also been driving it up and down the road it's so noisy like a proper banger-racing thing!

Going to let them have their fun and just keep curtain twitching until 2 big men with a tow truck pull up and crush their dreams Grin

You can report anonymously through the Crime Stoppers website.

Your neighbours sound awful Sad Angry?

NiallandNiamh · 23/08/2016 22:56

I don't think you can have insurance on a car that's SORN . well done for reporting it!

honeysucklejasmine · 23/08/2016 23:08

Driving a car with a SORN? So no tax? Therefore invalid insurance? Tut tut.

LaContessaDiPlump · 23/08/2016 23:10

Ahhhhhhh.
