CF parked on my driveway!

[SEMPA1234567]

CF has now been parked on my driveway for at least 3 hours! Husband home soon and won’t be able to park!

My question is what can you actually practically do about this, apart from giving them an earful if you spot them returning to their car!! 😂

A quick google says

1. the police won’t do anything (they might if it’s stoping you getting off your drive but not if they’re preventing you accessing your drive)
2. My areas police website says try contacting the council . The councils website clearly states they will not remove vehicles or issue parking charge notices for private drives

Also you are not allowed to block them in as this is an offence to stop them leaving and obviously you can not damage their car as this would be criminal damage.

Assuming you don’t want to break the law 😂 what are you meant to legally do if someone parks on your drive??

Has anyone successfully got any type of justice against a CF?!? Or can I now just go around being a CF never paying for parking and just using other peoples drives?!?

This.

Well you have nowhere to park. When they come back take your time answering. Take it slowly. They might reconsider next time.

😁looking for crackers would slow them down enough for op to catch them, also long term the cholesterol effects of full fat cheese might get them...revenge is a dish best served cold.😁

I pick up from a school. I park a few streets away because its really difficult to park in the area. However, people park all over the place, blocking paths, private access and on the pavement. It's odd. Children walking to and from school are put at risk but some adults don't seem to care.

🤣

Yup. Very common in my street.

I have a more "traditional" driveway because I'm in an end-terraced house and a previous owner was able to purchase a piece of land from the council.

I dunno...melted cheese might be an interesting deterrent.

No. It's a front garden that has been paved. OP says some houses have retained the front garden.

I really want cheese now.

....in homage to melted cheese/car combos, a 1906 Fondu limousine.

Last week a builder parked on my drive while I was at work because the road was full. Not my problem though. Since then I've put wheelie bins out when I go out and it's not happened again.

I was about to say they may have mistakenly parked on your drive thinking it was one they've booked on Just Park. If not then they're definitely CF!!

I would built something quickly around the car. They cannot touch it because it’s private property and they are more than happy to request a recovery tow to get their vehicle onto to the road.

the law has changed the only people
to legally clamp a car in Scotland is the dvla

Block term in and leave a note on their window, "Please knock if you need to remove your car from my drive."

4.. provide a diagram

Yes, this! Just block in, he couldn't get on drive so is using your other option of parking in front of you home. Very CF, you just don't do that unless previously agreed with a good friend.

Haha this is a good one!

I believe it's an offence to park across dropped kerb even your own so you might get a summons while the parked car owner could call the police and get off scot free

😀

What an anticlimax!!

Do you mean to say you did “nothing at all”?
What was the point of moaning on here about it then?
Why didn’t your DH do anything?
So many questions 🤦🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

can you get a folding post or a telescopic post. I know it’s a bit of a spend but value for money worth it if it works. https://ultrasecuredirect.com/telescopic-security-posts-bollards--c76

Same. What’s a CF?

It stands for Cheeky Fucker, @MasterpiecesofthePuzzle.

So what did you expect them to do , drape themselves over the bonnet ?
