The car will get moved very quickly :-)

The road in front of your house is not yours.
Anyone can park there subject to yellow lines etc.

Does that include parking across your drive so you can't get your car in or
out? I know that you can't lay claim to the road *opposite* or *either side
of* your drive.

If your driveway has a dropped kerb, it must not be obstructed.

If your driveway doesn't have a dropped kerb...
You commit an offence every time you drive in out across the pavement,
and anyone is allowed to park across it (unless there is some other
parking restriction which prevents this.

Only if you're a stupid pedant. Most people are sensible enough to avoid parking in front of a DRIVEWAY, not a dropped kerb.
