Neighbour parking outside our drive

I didn't want to have to bring it up with them in the first place and I'm not going to escalate by doing anything that might bring a nasty response or give ammunition to say I did something against them.

BTW When I said I didn't want to have to bring it up with them I didn't mean the road traffic act I meant bring up asking them not to park in front of my drive.
Was just looking for the specific information about the act and wanted to confirm it wasn't an unwritten rule, just in case anyone thinks I was gonna stand there like I was a garda and quote the act to them :pac:

Thanks, for that Victor.

I was surprised to find this thread still active

The neighbors seem to park their car at the end of our drive over a period of a number of days. Haven't really noticed them parking there since starting this thread.

Go to know it's illegal to obstruct a drive without permission.

We have this problem as well with the crowd next door...

On any given day there's between 3 and 8 cars parked outside their house
(see attached pic - their cars in red, mine and the OH's in green)

Until about a week ago the car directly across from our driveway was sitting
half in a hedge where it'd been left abandoned by them back in October. They also park up to 4 cars at the entrance to a gate across from their house. There's then the car that directly overhangs our driveway.
We actually came home one night to find a car (in yellow in the pic) sitting parked in the middle of the road!

The result of this is myself and the gf having a nightmare getting cars in an out of the driveway. I drive a 06 Passat and as most will know these are fairly wide, long cars which meant having to turn sharply and "drop" the car off the kerb so as to avoid hitting the abandoned car in the hedge, or make several turns to get it out between their 2 cars outside our house. My other half drives a car with a very low bumper that's been knocked loose as a result of this as well

Talking to them hasn't worked... they either don't answer the door or give smart-arsed answers. The Gardai have been up several times (not called by us, but other neighbours on the road are as sick of it as we are!) and asked them about the car in the hedge but it still sat there up until last week.

We actually thought something had changed last weekend when the abandoned car and all 4 in the gateway were gone but tonight they're all back again with the exception of the hedge warmer!

I'm seriously thinking of calling their landlord tomorrow as we've both had enough at this stage! :mad: There's about 10 of them in there and I doubt the landlord is aware of that either. Plus half of their cars are Lativan registered and here at least a year! Quick call to revenue may be in order!
