πŸ‘‰ **If a car is parked on YOUR driveway:**
– This might be considered civil trespass. The police might not get involved unless there’s more to it, like damage.
– Your options? Try to figure out who owns the car, especially if it might be a neighbour’s guest or a delivery vehicle. πŸ“Έ Snap some photos for evidence if it becomes a pattern.

πŸ‘‰ **If someone blocks your driveway:**
– Unlike parking directly on your driveway, this can be treated as obstruction. Dial 101, explain your situation especially if it’s affecting your day or safety. The police might step in here!
– You can also reach out to your local councilβ€”some councils issue penalties for driveway obstructions. πŸš”

πŸ‘‰ **Take note of dropped kerbs:**
– Parking across a dropped kerb? That’s a bigger no-no. Councils are stepping in to enforce these rules, and you could see fines or even towing.

And remember, don’t take matters into your own hands. No blocking them in, tampering, or moving the car yourself! This can lead to more trouble than it’s worth.

πŸ›‘ Choose a peaceful approach: Talk with neighbours if it’s them or their visitors. If the discussions go south or safety’s a concern, it might be time to seek legal advice.

Hope this helps the next time someone gets a little too comfortable with your parking space! πŸ˜‰πŸš˜
