Forums Forums Wirral Information Law And Your Rights vehicles across driveway

Does the driveway itself have a gate? If so, how about putting one of those signs up that says driveway in constant use?

There is one fella by mine who has put a sign on his gate saying do not park opposite, his gates.

Well I make sure I park my car opposite his gate, as he has no right to put sign up saying that.

Is this a polite sign or an order type of sign ie: is there a word such as please on it

id just bump it out into the road a bit,only takes a couple of people and then report the car for obstructing the road...

it just say please, do not park opposite

yes but what right has some one got to say do not park your car opposite my house, if it was you living there and you bump my car out of the way, you would be on my camera, and you would find your self in the cells.

Ive done this before, bumped an obstructing car across a road and called police. Works, we all witnessed it being parked as so!
Dont know about a tank for ease of parking...but a Fork Truck does work, just dont look too closely under the car afterwards...not good !!

This happened to a work college.

He just moved into a new road, and with his girlfriend pregnant parked up at 11:30pm as she needed to peeeeeeeee

Anyways.
He woke up thinking his car had been stolen.
After calling the police it was found that it had been town away at about 8:30am in the morning.

We looked on google earth street view at where he had parked and etc and was he obstructing the drive way?

He was a tiny bit over, but the point was there were no cars on the drive way at 11:30pm. What seems to have happened is that the owners daughter came home at Midnight and must have got on the drive as the complaint stated the car was removed because she could not get out the drive.

He had only just moved so the reg check showed his old address and no one could knock on the door and say can you move it.

The crazy think is when we told him to ring up and as what offence had been broken NO ONE at first could say. No Reference and its states nothing under the highway code as it was not in a dangerous place. It took 2 days to get a cryptic answer about what Traffic law had been broken.

This cost him £180 for not following it up. (Cost of Recovering the Vehicle).
And by all accounts the police officer that was called to the house was the one that called the tow away, but no photographs of the offence nothing. Just his street opinion and not a Traffic police officer deciding on a Traffic Offence.

Personally i would have followed it up and fought it all the way.
But that's me.

So be warned is it a mess you want to get into?

I wonder if there were any no win no fee's solicitors that would have had a go at this.

So can someone just put a sign up on the back gate that says, Do not park opposite my gate.

People can stick their own signs up but no one has any leagal obligation to obey them. It also makes them look like silly little englanders.

Common courtesy to leave someone's drive clear - if there is another space you could park in.
I wonder if there is anything in the law about blocking in
anybody who could be on emergency callout such as a doctor etc

Well I will continue to park there, as I do not believe he has any right to stop people parking on other side of road.
He has no dropped kerb, he just cut a hole in back wall and put a set of gates in.
And ever since he told me am not allowed to park there, I now continue to do so.

Some body parked over my drive on saturday and went to watch a football match on the delph.I needed to take my car off the drive as i had to be some where and could not get out .So i rang the police gave them the reg and they told me that it is an offence to park over some one`s drive .I had to get a taxi in the end which pissed me off They came and found out who it was give them a right mouth full and they had to move it , so if any of you think it`s ok to park across a drive it really is inconvenient .I have now decided if this happens again i will use 2 cars bumper to bumper and i`ll refuse to let him out, equals

June, I would of let all his tyres down & said to him you want to park there mate then you fooking stay there now.

Hi pepper that`s right, but the little turd then knows where i live and in the middle of the night? no don`t think so, bumper to bumper and go out for the day. Maybe he can get a cab home.Joking appart it is bad manners though ,It`s not some thing i personally would do Idiots
