Default what can you do...

...to the selfish b*stards who park right in front of your garage...:curse:

with the hotter weather, i'm getting more and more people park on my driveway cos they are too lazy to walk a couple of metres further away...usually it's ok cos i can manouevre round them, but today someone had parked right in the middle (it actually turned out to be an emirate woman, who was so friggin rude i had to stop myself from saying something really, really bad to her...)

does anyone know whether you can you call the police to get the cars moved or at least ticketed...? and if so, what number do you call...??

thanks...
MM, xx

lionheart is an unknown quantity at this point
Default Re: what can you do...

My neighbours have painted a red sign on their garage door saying "Do not park here" but, as we are opposite a mosque, Friday lunchtime prayers mean disaster. We have to plan our travel itinerary accordingly. Fortunately its only once a week.

You can try 998, that is normally for accidents but I suppose you could use it for parking violaters

Depending how big the car is get some friends and Bump it onto the road to give you access, failing that let all the tyres down they wont do it again but of course make sure you are not ging out or they may just leave it!
