Parking On Public Road
34 Answers
I park my car on public road between two driveways approx a car and a half in length.
I do not block either driveway and as I got to my vehicle I noticed a note on windscreen? apparently asking me to park elsewhere as they cannot park outside there house?.they have a driveway and as far as I am aware where I park is public road.
can this person make me move my vehicle even though they have a driveway?.

No they can't if it's a public road. So long as you are not obstructing them, you are displaying a valid tax disc and there are no parking restrictions - your lovely neighbour doesn't have a leg to stand on.

I don't think what you are doing is a towable offence, but if you are parked next to someone's driveway and it makes it difficult for them to see what is coming down the road when exiting their driveway then I can maybe understand why they are a bit hacked off. However, I don't think they have any right to make you move your car.
Nobody has a right to park on a *PUBLIC* road outside their own house
Generally, most places I've lived there is a unsaid gentleman's agreement that the space right outside your house is your space and the neighbours won't park there, but if they choose to do so there is bugger all anyone can do about it as it's totally legal.
