Whilst the police are sympathetic to driveways being blocked/parked on, they really have better things to do than move muppets on. They even told me that pavement parking was not on their list of priorities so if somebody parks on the path outside my house and I can't scrape by on foot without going on the road

we park both our cars on the road 6 inches from either bumper
The peeps that used to live opposite had 2 cars and a driveway for both of them. They decided to park on the road (quite within their rights) and convert the driveway to garden ground (without planning permission but that's another story). Trouble is they parked on the opposite side of the road - right outside my house. Again quite legal but really annoying when they could have easily parked on their own side of the road. We were having an extension built at the time and the building supplies man kindly asked them to move their cars so he could get access for his delivery. After a tirade of abuse, the lorry driver got the builder to park his van blocking one car whilst he positioned his lorry blocking the other then proceeded to unload the delivery from the crane on the back of the lorry. To say he deliberately swung the pallets of bricks over the cars would be an understatement but I made sure the peeps saw what he was doing. One of the cars was white but the faces of the car owners were whiter......
