So magically a drive with a lowered kerb has more access rights? Why
can't people parking use their eyes and avoid parking in front of a
driveway, dropped kerb or not? Works round here.....

Pretty obviously, it depends on how near or far away you are
from railway stations used by commuters, high roads with shops,
schools, or basically anything likely to attract people
with cars who need somewhere to park.

But don't just take my word for it. With any luck, another
expert may just happen along to show you where I've gone
wrong. Although in this case I've stuck to the one single
sentence; which may make things a bit more tricky for them.

The reason people park illegally is all the ******s who park their own
cars on the street instead of having drives, so there's no room left.
Streets with driveways have plenty room for others to park. Parking on
a road should be temporary, to go into a shop, to deliver something,
etc., not a permanent place for your car to live. Your car is your
property, keep it on your own bloody land!

I have to admit I agree with 100%. Probably means my opinion is
rubbish, but still.

On my street of terraced houses, my heart sinks whenever another house
has its kerb dropped. They go off to work all day, during which time
nobody else can park across it. Not all streets with driveways "have
plenty room for others to park".
