To start parking passive aggressively

We have a shared driveway with our neighbour. I have started getting more and more annoyed over our parking arrangements. NDN has 3 cars 2 of them are parked on his driveway. We have 2 cars and have room for 1 car on our drive. There is a 3rd spot that we have always shared. The majority of it is on our land but a slice is on NDN’s side. If we didn’t share neither of us would have room to park on our own side.
The problem is if we are parked there and then move he will move his car from the street to the drive which I feel is a bit cheeky. The other issue that annoys me is that both his cars that are on his driveway are never moved. They are both broken and unused and have been for more than a year.

Should I just chill and carry on with the arrangement?
Or should I jump up and take the spot if he moves and beat him at his own game?

We can’t really access the back of the house TBH.
I wish I had the balls to do what many of you suggest, planters etc but I know I won’t be that confrontational. It also feels like cutting my nose of to spite my face.
I do worry about selling, his house is not maintained, there are broken windows that have been there for years. It was in a bit of a state when we moved in but it’s gotten worse.
