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.

Well, you can't lay claim to the road, but it is a parking offence
to leave a vehicle parked across a dropped kerb (introduced in
the 2004 Traffic Management Act)

That's daft, it should be "across a driveway". I've seen plenty dropped
kerbs
left where there is no longer a driveway, or driveways where
they haven't
bothered dropping the kerb.

Which is illegal to drive across.

Yet everyone does it. There are countless drives like that around
here. It
is no more dangerous to anyone to drive over one than a dropped one.

Nothing to do with danger. A dropped kerb implies that the pavement has
been strengthened where it will be driven over, to protect the services
underneath. Not the case where it's not dropped.

Utter bull****. People park on pavements all the time. And pavements
are at least as strong as my driveway.

A few pavements notably in London have been strengthened to take park
cars, but mostly they haven't and the result is that they sink, slabs
break and become a serious hazard for the elderly.

Hardly ever happens, and they should look where they're going. Anyway
if there's car parked there, they can't trip on them :-)

You really are a dick
