I think I have a cf

[Ourmaud]

So we live in a cul de sac and facing the road is our driveway and side garden. Front door is on the other side. For a few weeks I’ve been noticing the same car driving up blocking the dropped kerb for our drive and a lady getting out and having a fag sitting on our garden wall.
That’s fine, I haven’t needed to go out when she’s been there. Her habit isn’t affecting me.
This week I was picking up the dogs mess and noticed that there’s tons of fag butts in my garden. She’s obviously just been slinging them over the fence.
Today I waited till she arrived and I went out to her to ask her to take her rubbish with her and not throw them in my garden. She told me to get fucked and she will do what she likes.
I didn’t really have any comeback for that so scuttled back inside.
Being both a coward and a nosy bitch I jotted down her car reg. Lo and behold the DVLA website says it’s not mot’d.
WIBU to tip off whoever enforces those things next time I spot her? She’s pretty regular time wise.

Definitely put the fish oil stuff on the fence (but remember not to lean on it yourself!)

Report no MOT no insurance if she tells you to get fucked just for littering then what would her reponse be if you were in an accident with her.

Ah our wall has like a decorative iron thing so pigeon spikes wouldn’t work. She leans against it more than sits directly iygwim? Am thinking of coating it in some of dh’s Boillie soak ( stuff he soaks his fishing bait in that’s really greasy and smells of year old halibut) or is that too far? It’d totally ruin her pants- is it even legal to do that?

That it GOLD, I dooo like your style

She is a very rude woman. You were within your rights to object.
Honestly! Some people, eh?

You can report a car on the road with no mot to the police non emergency number 101. If there is no mot the car could be dangerous and the insurance is invalid.

You had to ask..?!
YANBU!

All these things are fun written down, but will you be okay if she comes banging on your door for a fistfight?
Maybe just report the car. She'll probably still know it was you though if they turn up in your cul-de-sac to nab her.
What's she doing in your street every day, I wonder?

CAR INSURANCE IS NOT INVALIDATED BY LACK OF A MOT (unless you’re with a really, really, really shit company).

Report the cf, if she keeps it up take pics and put them on your area’s Facebook page

Christ OP where do you live that people think they can get away with that sort of crap?!

DO THAT!

I am an ex smoker who sometimes has a weak moment and sneaks away from our house to have a sly smoke. About once every two months. I am so paranoid about smoking in public as it's such a terrible habit that I hide like a theif and bring a bag for the cigarette ends!

I'd NEVER act like this woman.

TinselandKnickers the flaming paper bag of dog shit needs to be placed on the doorstep not the driveway!!!

You can’t help it if you spill fish paint on your wall in passing with a paint brush

Without a current MOT, your car insurance would become invalid. Not having a valid MOT certificate is illegal under Section 47 of the Road Traffic Act 1988 and you run the risk of facing a £1,000 fine and a charge of six to eight penalty points on your licence by driving without one
Not only that but if you have an accident and don’t have an up-to-date MOT certificate, you’ll be liable to cover the costs. The average claim is likely to be much more than the cost of your missed test so it’s well worth making sure you’re up to date with your MOT. Especially as if you’re convicted of driving without a valid certificate, your insurance premiums could go up when it gets time to renew again

Report the nasty B. I wouldn’t dream of chucking fag but in someone’s garden (I don’t smoke anymore but still).

evil Muttley laugh

Go out with the hose to water your garden when she appears. Don't spray her directly, but make sure she gets hit by some water. Every time you see her, rain, hail or shine, go out with the hose and make her life uncomfortable. She won't keep it up for long after that.

So she blocks your dropped kerb and leaves rubbish i your garden?
YANBU Report and paint fence with something foul and/or that will stain her clothing.

£80 fixed penalty fine - littering
£1000 max penalty no MOT
possibly invalidated insurance

is the VED paid......?
or did she tell the DVLA 'get fucked I can do what I like'?

see if you can stick some of those spikes on, I know they're a bit unsightly but hopefully, she'll get the message and not come back, then you can just take them down after! and I agree to reporting her hehehe!

She sounds delightful! Can you water the garden and make sure the wall gets wet... and so will she if she leans on it. Less likely to look deliberate and start world war 3. Oh, and report the lack of MOT - that's not fair on the rest of us who have to pay up and her car could be unsafe and cause an accident.

Defo report. If she's got no mot then her insurance is invalid and she definitely shouldn't be driving without insurance

It is a myth that insurance is always invalid without MOT- though it might be, and if she has no MOT she probably hasn't insured her car. (For example, most insurers allow a driver to use another's' car as a one-off and grant third party liability, they would not penalise you if it was illegally on the road and you had no way of knowing that)- it depends on the circumstances.

Cheap vegetable oil all over where she leans. Had to put some on our wall to stop teens sitting on it, and leaving their litter in our garden. They never came back.

Or dog shit...

Put everything on your wall in fact, just so that we are all happy
