Nutty neighbor causing grief...
17 Answers
I have a neighbor that is constantly trying to get me in trouble, and she is an argumentative alcoholic...but that is besides the point.
anyway, my boyfriend parks directly outside the house, not in front of hers, there is a drop down kerb outside. I am situated by a junction, so we have to park there, or under a tree across the road (we all know what that does!).
She phoned the police saying we are causing an obstruction of the drop down kerb so they came round and warned us of a £30 fine. When i asked the officer if the car was legally parked, she couldn't answer me.
Who is in the right?

Too many people get away with stupid, inconsiderate parking. Why do the Police and traffic wardens not ticket those who block the pavement? I remember reading about the bloke who ended up in court for putting fake penalty notices on cars parked near his house that were on the pavement. I'd like to buy him a pint of beer! But instead of going down the avenue of forgery, I think maybe name and shame is the way forward. Photograph the offending vehicles and put them on a website. SelfishTurd.com seems an appropriate url.
If it is within 10 metres of the junction you should not park there; whether the dropped kerb is for your property or to facilitate the crossing of prams etc is irrelevant - the Police can proceed for the offence of obstruction if you are within that distance.
If you are outside that distance and the dropped kerb is for your property then you may commit a theoretical offence but as has been suggested earlier, you may 'get away' with it
