Ask a CSO if you see them wandering down the street... They tried to charge me for obstruction when I was parked outside my house and some pillock blocked the road by parking on the opposite side but too close to me... I know it's a different situation but they seemed quite clued up...

Look up The Traffic Management Act 2004.
It's about as clear as mud but it's illegal to park in front of a dropped kerb when in an enforcement area with the exception of;
- When you're in a parking space
- When you're parked outside residential premises with the consent of the occupier of the premises -- as long as you're not paying for parking.
-When loading or unloading for 20 minutes or less.
-Works such as gas and water, or road works.
-It's an armed forces vehicle.
Buy a tank and you can park it over your neighbours driveway with no issues.
I think the most important thing here is whether or not an 'illegal obstruction' has occurred and this would be the case if someone parked in such a way that it was blocking access to the public highway.
tank ? good yeah but do i need road tax ???

First, get your relatives to keep a "log" of how often this blocking happens, and the Reg number(s) of the vehicles concerned. You need to target collecting about a dozen entries in the log. THEN I suggest you go to :: http://www.merseyside.police.uk/index.aspx?articleid=177And find the HQ of the police area that covers the propertry concerned. Then using the calm and civilised tone of your post on Wiki go and have a "word" with the desk guy at that HQ. Show them the log that has been collected (and a few photos and a Google Earth map pic will help a LOT). I had a similar problem and the nice guy in the Wallasey East (Moreton) HQ had an officer call round within a few days "just to have a look what it was all about". Snod

The none emergency police number should be first port of call if she finds herself trapped in her own driveway.
Other than that, there's not that much you can do about it.
I'd suggest calling Phil and asking him to tow it out of the way!!
Once upon a time someone parked over an entrance to a car park belonging to a client of mine. He got lucky though because someone broke into the car and also took the handbrake off.
Strange how these things happen.

Was just wondering if you can leave your car in a car park without tax?
