To tell him to get his f****** Fiesta off my driveway

[Iwantmydrivewayformyself]

I need some advice about neighbours teenage son who keeps parking his modified, noisy Ford Fiesta on my driveway, coming and going at all hours of the night and basically being a dick in general!

Me, 17 year old DD and DH all drive.
Me and DH have long ass Volvo’s, hence use the spare space on our four car drive for guests or reversing. DD is shit at parking and uses the spare space to get into and out of her space without damaging mine and DH’s cars

The space is also used for guests

Anyway, my neighbours each only have one car space. We are three houses off a long, bendy country road which is unlit, so you’d be a fool to park there

If you park anywhere else down our road (which is tiny) you block the way

We are lucky to have the end house, which has the most parking by far, however we also have the biggest house by far, others are only two beds so not as much parking (one car each)

We asked neighbours son to stop parking here, but he hasn’t. Three times now our guests have had nowhere to park

Aside from that, neighbours son is rude and noisy and wakes me up at three AM, so even further cause for me to say no, get the fuck off my drive

I knocked on his parents door and spoke with him, wasn’t rude, but just said please don’t park there. For a week he didn’t, then as of two days ago he’s back again

So AIBU to not let him park there?

And what should I do?

It’s all our land beyond the dotted line, neighbours have no right of access or right to go onto our driveway. We own all of it, this I am 100% sure of!

Thanks!

You’ve drawn your answer. Install gates.

This would piss me off, no end.

PENGUIN BOLLARDS

Phone 101 and report a car abandoned on your property, it will get clamped, and he'll have to pay to get it back.

@ghostyslovesheets

Bollards, fences or gates. Problem solved.

Have you spoken to his parents?

A gate or take to blocking him in with your cars

What a bloody piss taker! I'd keep complaining, every time you see him there. Alternatively can you block him in a couple of times?

Agree with penguin bollards I'd also be minded to put an invoice in for the parking fees using your drive - CF! Good luck OP

YANBU. Can you put some gates up?

There’s no point ringing 101. The police have no powers to lift vehicles parked on private land.

Remote control bollards or a gate, sorted.

When I read the title, I assumed your husband was feeling frisky and you were not in the right frame of mind for some mid morning shenanigans.

What is a penguin bollard?

So, he literally parks in the area where your four crosses are? in front of your house. and behind the dotted lines?

That is CF parking for sure.

Gates yes, if the expense or logistics prohibits this then I would get a couple of posts installed and a long black enamelled chain.

Cones? Block it with one car? Will be a pain in the arse having to shuffle around to get cars out but worth it if it stops the CF parking on your drive.

Egg it?

I'd block him in and refuse to move. But yes, you are going to have to get a gate or bollards. So annoying though, that you have to go to the expense.

Gates.

Or put some signs up saying it’s private land and unauthorised vehicles will be clamped with a release fee of £200 and get a clamp and make him pay.

If you’ve asked him nicely and his still doing I’m afraid I’d have to loose my shit at him at 3am, go knock on his door and get his parents out of bed if I’m up all you fuckers are up

Clamp it.

Yes, literally where the crosses are.

Sadly I can’t afford a big, metal gate as trying to afford the house is draining all my income.

Chain link may be the way to go, although I’m worried that may be seen as a bit too much of a ‘fuck off’ statement move!

I haven’t spoken to the parents as he’s 17/18 but maybe I should

OP, I agree that gates, chains or bollards to block entry is your best shot - especially if his parents are not on board.

Completely unsatisfactory diagram, 2/10..

Which is the neighbours car?!

Seriously though, these aren't massively expensive.

I can’t understand your drawing. I’d he the 4th X which is effectively blocked in by your 3 cars?.... How does he get it in and out? He’s right in your drive isn’t he!

clamp

Takes less than a minute to put on a wheel. Pretend you don’t hear him knocking when he comes asking for it to be removed. All you have to do is delay him for an hour every time he wants to go out and he’ll soon stop. You don’t need to permanently impound the car.
