My next door neighbour's mum (who lives round the corner) does that. And she's got TWO, yes TWO driveways and garages! Inconsiderate bint.

Neighbor opposite does this, double driveway, yet insists on parking her car on the road opposite my drive.
Then again from what I gather she's lost her job, It seems like parking like a ejit is the only control she has in her life.

Some coffin-dodger in a subsidised social house had a go at me for doing this. Because I temporarily have (someone else's) caravan on my drive, there's no room for both of the cars, so I was parking it around the corner - on "his" road, and "his" space. Why he thought he owned the road, despite not even owning the house, I have no idea.
Don't like it? Get your own drive/garage/whatever, and use that.

When I lived in Brighton, one of my neighbours had a disabled space, which was fine. Apart from the times he decided not to park in it, but next to it, so none of us could use the disabled space, but he was still taking up space on the road!! Argh!!

Unless there is an official council sign on a lamp-post, saying "Disabled Parking Only" you are free to park in one of these boxes on the street with "Disabled" next to them. A bit low, of course, but if you know the supposed beneficiary isn't using it, fill yer boots.

And then take up space on the road. That'll be 95% of the population, then, who think the garage is designed for old barbecues and all the shite they took with them for the last three house moves but have never taken out of the packing boxes.

I have never had a driveway or garage, and I'd love to be able to park my car in a garage. Why have one and not use it. I'll never understand that.
