WIBU to ram this van blocking me in!?

[HeadElf]

Been blocked in by a blue van. Parked outside some houses where there are no parking restrictions at all to take 9 mo DTwins for a walk and have come back to find a van parked at a weird angle blocking me in. There's another car parked next to me and no way I can wiggle out without bashing the car or van.

What do I do?

Does she know who owns the car next to you? Maybe you could ask them if they'd be kind enough to move so you can get out?

No way any sort of 168 point turn could get you out? So annoying, hope you're out soon op

I really need that diagram, I can't work out what's going on here at all! Are you parked normally alongside a kerb and the van parked squint at the side of you?

I called 101 when a car parked in front of my garage and they called the owner to come and move it

Could old lady help guide you to do a hundred point wiggle to get you out?

This is worrying as you have two babies with you.

That's really rubbish.

I don't know why the police can't have cars towed when they do things like this.

Someone parked across my shop drive, (dropped curb) and I couldn't get out to go home....1 1/2 hour journey!
I tried knocking doors, tried the horn...nothing! I called a passing police officer, he said nothing police can do, but if it was still there in the morning, they'd ticket it!
Two hours later, I caught a train, and had to get a lift back next day, the car was gone....bloody furious, even put the reg number on FB, never found out who it was!

Phone the non emergency number with the registration number of the van and explain you've two babies with you and ask for their advice.

I hope you're free now OP.

Headelf, are you still there?

See if it has been left unlocked? You could take handbrake off and push it out the way then..............

Perhaps the old lady has invited her in for lunch.

Doesn't sound like a local if 2 people on the street haven't seen the van before. People tend to be aware of which vehicles come and go on their own street.

Do any of the houses look like they are having building work done (scaffolding, skip in front garden kind of thing)?

Could be a tradesman from there.

Could be someone leafleting around the neighbourhood.

Went out this morning, and on returning to the house, reached the end of the road, ready to turn left into our road, only to find a van parked at the corner, partially across the end of the road! There was no way we could make the turn into our road, so we had to wait for him to amble along, reverse his van and drive off up our road out of the way. No apology, no sign of embarrassment that there was a perfectly good parking space slightly further down the road that he could have used, only he would have had to walk ten feet out of his way to get there, and he'd forgotten what his legs were for, bless him.
It shocks me just how many totally selfish people there are around.

Twunt. Ram him or her but we all know it's a man!

Right what's in front of your car and to the right of you? You look to have a bit of wiggle room behind. We'll get you out if there's a way!

Tell the police you have hungry twins and no way of getting them home else.

It looks like you're on a bend, can you get your front wheels up on the kerb and then to a hard right out?

Wdigin2this I would have been raging!! Can't believe the Police refused to help in your situation, surely that car was parked illegally?

OP, I can't quite figure out whether you're at home, or you're sitting stranded in your car?

I think i might be inclined to very slowly reverse, and just nudge it back a bit. Or recruit some people from nearby houses to push the van out of the way?

Are you still stuck op? I vote ram the van... but probably shouldn't listen to me.

recruit some people from nearby houses to push the van out of the way

A smaller vehicle could be lifted out of the way

I've seen it happen

I'd ram. But I'm not a responsible driver.

Op, I hope your lack of response is because you are now home and this is resolved, please update with the outcome later
