Parking outside someone's house for days

If people want entitlement to keep a public area for their car the area covered should be included in their property tax.

But I guess ye wouldn't agree to that because it's not your property?

What about people that want entitlement to park in the same space while they jet off out of the country?

Thats why some streets have parking meters ,
residents get a parking permit ,random people parking have to buy a ticket or get towed away.
its a bit like scrooge giving out about someone who parks there over xmas .Any one who pays tax and insurance has a right to park
on a public road as long as they are not blocking the house entrance.
Yes its a bit rude ,like someone who skips queues ,but i,d prefer to live in
a free society than have every small thing be monitored 24/7
.
In places in the usa homeowners are fined if they paint the house a certain
color or don,t cut the grass regularly .
the gardai have to deal with serious crime
its not fair to waste their time on a car parking issue.
You could ask a friend to park there for a few days before xmas day
to stop people parking there for a week.
In Most urban area,s its hard to find a free parking space
without buying a ticket

I don't know how this is done but it is possible.

I saw a car on its roof on the Boulevard Anspach in Brussels some years ago.It was an early BMW 5 series, seemingly in good nick, perfectly centered in the parking space, no glass broken,no damage to the sides, just minding it's own business except that it was upside down.

IF Random people are parking outside your house,
messing with one car will make no difference to the next driver to park there ,its a public road.
you can ask the council to put in a parking meter ,
But that mean your friends may have to pay to park there
,is that a good solution.

It would be a handy way to get new tyres. Simply wait for a vehicle to park with the appropriate size of tyre, and you have a fortnight or so to change them over.:pac:

This thread is mental. Someone legally parks in a parking space, someone else is annoyed by this, even though it has no impact on them, and then a bunch of people advise the OP to carry out a tonne of illegal acts to deal with the 'problem'....

Report it to the Gardai say you spoke to your neighbors none of them own it and you fear it may have been dumped there are a crime.

Once it's taxed, NCTd if applicable, insured and legally parked once it's not reported stolen AGS will do nothing. Rightly so too.

Don't you get it? Someone too mean to pay for the airport carpark decides to park on a public road for a few weeks. There's a big differnce to parking for a few hours to do shopping and parking for a few weeks

So what if it's there for a week or two?? I don't get the drama.

There's not really a difference. There's nothing at all wrong with parking on a public road once all legal requirements are satisfied.

And illegal acts that they wouldn't have the guts to do in real life.

So, explain the legal requirements?

No yellow lines. Central white lines not continuous, correct distance from kerb, junction etc. No posted parking conditions or regulations. Basic rules of the road stuff.

But they'll have paid their motor tax, otherwise the car can be towed.

So, are you saying they can park a car there for an unlimited amount of time no matter what the situation?

If it's legally parked then it's legally parked.

It's an actual place where you can park, not obstructing an entrance. Vehicle taxed, insured & NCTd if required.

Simple really, surprised you needed that explained.

You are introducing an infinite number of possible variables now.

I'm a bit late to the party on this one
But I wouldn't care if someone parked on the street outside my house as long they didn't block the drive way. But I guess seeing as how it's Christmas, by parking a car and leaving it there for days would block family members parking outside (coming over for Christmas dinner etc) that would annoy me.

No, the thing is I do get it. There's nothing illegal about it so, in the eyes of parking regulation, there is NO difference between a few hours and a few weeks. People thinking it's cheeky or stingy is of no consequence at all.

Sam Kade wrote: »

Absolutely. If it's a legal, free parking zone, that doesn't change after an indeterminate amount of time, based on what some random people on the internet think.

I think we've found someone else who thinks they own the roadway outside their house.

Interesting point - I wonder how many cars are parked with 5m of a junction - which is illegal.

I'm here in the USA for many years so I'm a little out of touch.
Here in Seattle if a car has been in the same spot for over five days it's liable for a ticket. Someone would have to report it, then the parking people would come by a mark a tire with chalk, then they'll come back the next day and ticket it.
Seems reasonable.

That's lovely. And grand if the law was such here but it isn't. So the point is moot.

Though, if it were legal for only 5 days, the same people would still be complaining.

smash the drivers side window, jam a screw driver in for a key and then report it as a stolen car dumped outside of your mothers house, the cops will come along and take it away for you

Can I ask what you did about this?? What an outrageously ignorant thing to do!

Although perhaps it's a little more 'acceptable' down the country. I have a vague memory of a Dub and Countrywoman arguing on Joe Duffy a few years back because she had parked her car randomly in someone's driveway while attending a match in Croke Park and the person had locked their gate and effectively impounded the car.

The woman was absolutely incredulous that anyone would find a problem with what she had done and couldn't believe every single caller who rang in wasn't on her side.

I used to live in a apartment block near the Burlington.

When Dublin won the All-Ireland in 2011 (think it was that year anyway), the post game reception was in the hotel beside us. Got up to head to work the following morning for find some c*nt had abandoned his car in the car park entrance, blocking in more than 50 cars.
There was already 20 or so people waiting to get out by the time I'd gone to leave, and the wing mirrors had already been smashed (whether by disgruntled residents or drunken revellers exiting the hotel during the night wasn't clear). Someone had already called the council, and the car was being loaded onto a tow truck when the c*nt arrived to collect it.
He started roaring abuse at the residents for "ratting" him out to the council.

The lesson being, there's ignorant c*nts from both the city and the country. But neither are as bad as someone who admits listening to Joe Duffy!!

Years ago, when I was working in London, people would paste a big paper notice on the windscreen. It would say something like the local residents would really appreciate your cooperation in considerate parking.

It would be a nightmare to remove & you would see cars with bits still on days later. The funny part is that they would have to scrape a hole before they could drive off.

It is illegal to block a driveway. If a driveway is wide enough for the length of a vehicle then by default no one can park outside that house. So if the problem is bad enough and your garden big enough, you have a solution!

Parking on the road in front of a house with no wall or gates and, potentially, a driveway the width of the house /site is not blocking the driveway, however.

Need a bottle of nail polish remover in your glove box. Takes the stickers off quick, fast. Angle Grinder in the boot for the clamps.

Boo Hoo. There's a reason some roads have double yellows and some don't. It's a designated public space.

But not a designated parking space?

the space out side my home is my personal bird table
If a car ever parks outside for more than a day then it would be used as the bird table and covered with bird seed daily...........

Last I checked its not illegal to feed birds even if i am being a cúnt?

True, mind you feeding birds is sometimes prohibited as well. And osarusan never mentioned a ball. :pac:

It's not your bird table though, it's not a table at all and you thrown seed on it youd be liable for the wear on the paint, same as if you threw paint on it. Criminal damage. It's illegal to wreck someone's car with birdseed

The bird seed wont damage anything - the birds might

Blocking a local authority approved driveway is illegal, however!
