Council lorry blocking me won't move because he's on his break!

Just come out of my house to find a council lorry parked across my drive. They're doing some digging a few doors down. Driver sat in the cab, so i politely asked him to move back a bit to let me get my car out of the drive. Point blank refusal. Says he's on his break, he's legally entitled to his break and he won't move until he's finished his break. Then winds his window up. By the time I report it to police or council traffic enforcement he'll have moved it hopefully. So I'm stuck here, and I'm now going to be late for a GP appointment. There are some pretty inconsiderate arrogant sods out there aren't there?

Linkielinks, and that is the OP's problem how?
He has parked stupidly,he needs to move,if he gets fined it is entirely his own fault and hopefully that will help him to remember not to do it again. Hmm

Does your driveway have a dropped curb

Not relevant. If you are causing an obstruction and someone asks you to move, you move.

Do you think he's still there, ordering in Tex Mex?

He has buried the OP in one of the holes they have been digging, and parked over the top.

Make an official complaint about this peanut-brained jobsworth! And be sure to point out that you were (supposed to be) on your way to a GP appointment - this officious git probably thinks that women only use cars to do 'girly' things like going to a hairdressers or taking Auntie Minnie out for lunch at the local garden centre........(just what happened to The New Man we kept being told about?)
