A unique loophole means this major inconvenience can go unpunished
It's guaranteed to spark a row when a resident parks in a driveway of another home. Indeed, one motorist's "thoughtless" parking has left their neighbour fuming so much so that they felt compelled to leave a long note.
The note read: "Your parking is anti-social and thoughtless. Your car is too long to park here legally. It either sticks out too far at the front, or - as now - at the back, or both." While rule 243 of the Highway Code says "DO NOT in front of an entrance to a property", doing so won't necessarily land you in trouble with the law. This is down to a legal loophole that allows the inconsiderate act to go unpunished.
However, a driveway and its ramp is considered to be private property and those who park even slightly on it without permission can be considered trespassing - which is a civil and not criminal offence - meaning police don't have the power to make an arrest.
