Fuming

I am sat here wanting to go out in the car but some young lady ran out of petrol last night and blocked me in by stopping in front of my drive , i phoned the police this morning and reported it at 9,30am at 11am an officer phoned and said the driver is onto it and it will be moved soon , well it hasn't and im still blocked in .

Grrr!! No way of pushing it out of the way?

how annoying we have the same problem over our driveway. You cant even have a line painted on the drive as our local council said you have to pay for it and have a business run from your home

I live at the end of a cul de sac and regularly have people park across my exit.
Have lost count of the number of cars that have had to be jerked out of the way.

I can never work council rules out.
When I owned a business, I put a banner up in one of their roundabouts and was told to remove it as it could cause an accident by distracting drivers.
In the next breath, I was asked if I wanted to "sponsor" the roundabout by having a banner put up on it - fee payable to the council.
Would have said the same thing on it - seems it won't cause accidents if I pay for it.
Lol.

You need a fork lift truck > >

Actually what you should do is go on Ebay and get some of them stickers made that don't come off without ages of scraping wiuth a polite message pointing out how they have blocked your drive > Lots of security in bigger companies have them nowadays and once you have had one on for parking in a bad or illegal place and had the pleasure of trying to remove it from your window it tends to deter you

Can't you bump/jump it?

At last its just be moved , the young lady claimed she knocked on our door last night i never heard her , she then said i ran out of petrol because her petrol cap had frozen and she couldn't get it off at the petrol station , she said herself and her Mother had tried to push the car away from my drive but it went into the kerb and they couldn't push it any further, it's just so bloody annoying we had things to do , and Duke has missed his walk now because we really have to do the weekly shop.

Just put it down to one of those days ><

RAM IT, simples

Least it was moved eventually. One of our neighbours have like four cars, and they have a driveway, but they decide the best place to park one of them is halfway into the exit of our driveway. Silly, silly people.

Suprising how far you can move a car by turning the ignition whilst in a low gear.... (holds of on meldrew style rant)
