Parking issue with neighbour

[Senmum1981]

hi all so my neighbour has this white transit van that he parks right next to my drop cub he has a driveway and has signs like no parking yet he pushes his van right next to my driveway I have a sign saying disabled access no parking . His van blocks my view when reversing out of the drive very worried il be hit from the side with my 3 kids in the car as it’s so close I’ve asked him to move it closer to his gate and he won’t any ideas what I can do ???

You shouldn’t be reversing out.

Have to my drive way is small at the moment but getting it extended in a few months time

There's nothing you can do, he's perfectly entitled to park there. I would reverse into your drive rather than reverse out.

There isn't anything you can do, but as pp said, you should not be reversing out.
Always reverse in and drive out.

Let the air out of his tyres until he gets the message.

Why does the size of your driveway mean you have to reverse out?

Either way if he's legally parked, there's nothing you can do assuming you've already spoken to him politely?

You need to reverse onto your drive when parking. Neighbour's van is not parked illegally.

Can you pay the council to paint a white H mark on the road at the entrance to your drive? Providing he doesn't encroach on that it should be fine, they're usually a bit wider than the drive. But you should be able to reverse in, it's far safer to drive out onto the road.

Why on earth would the council do that?

Besides, they're not legally binding are they?

If you can reverse out you can reverse in. You shouldn’t be reversing onto a road.

Council refuse to put a white line across honestly I’m so scared to reverse in tried it once and got frightened

The OP is disabled and needs to be able park on her drive and get off her drive safely. She can tell them her dropped kerb is being encroached on and it's making things difficult. This guy is ignoring her sign, but may abide by lines on the road.

Why are you frightened of reversing?

He is parking legally.

You are the one being dangerous by reversing into traffic without being able to see.

Imo if you can't park legally ie reversing in then stay off the road...
Bus pass?

Why are you scared to reverse in? Can you practice reversing into spaces in a quiet area of a car park? Does your car have a reversing camera? What about a one off driving lesson to learn to reverse in safely?

Sorry OP, the neighbour is parking legally. You should never reverse off a drive, especially one with cars obstructing your view

Great idea - commit a crime against a legally parked car.

That's not your neighbour's problem I'm afraid and even if he agree to park differently, you're still left with the same lack of skills if someone else were to park there.

How about having a few driving lessons to concentrate on the issue? It'll be easier for you as the instructor will have dual controls.

Reverse into your driveway..use your wing mirrors to help. I was rubbish at reverse parking until my DH emphasized this

It's not being encroached upon.

She's just not confident in reversing into her driveway.

Op can you describe your drive? I think it’s hard to understand why you would want to reverse out but not in.

could you just park on the road where your neighbour does until your drive is fixed?

I think what scares me is the fact everyone speeds down the road fast and I get so flustered in doing it I’m going to moraine I think when the road is quiet and just try to keep calm I think going in backwards is my only portion

Reversing is just a matter of practice. Learn to focus on a fixed point to line up and use mirrors.

OP didn't say she was reversing out into traffic, just that she was worried someone wouldn't see them reversing out because of the vans proximity to her driveway. It stands out when someone round here reverses into their driveway. It's noticeable because of how very rarely I see it.
