In this case the bloke just parked behind the offender on his own drive but
can you just park in the road across your own drive too? It seems unclear from this paragraph: "However, if a car is blocking a drive on a public road, it is likely that the driver is committing a parking offence, so local authorities can get involved and potentially fine the offending driver." even if you are only across your own drive? In general what can you legally do if someone parks on your drive? Is it trespass? Discuss......

The party goer has committed trespass but that is not a criminal offence.
There is no obstruction of the highway so no offence there.
No false imprisonment as the driver can walk away.
There is no theft is there is no intention to permanently deprive.
The police officer could have asked the householder for the car keys and driven the car to allow the party goer to get her car off the drive to prevent a breach of the police.

The police would do that if they could see the situation escalating, a nip it in the bud action. Most do have common sense.
I do recall, though, reading in the news about a man woken up in the middle of the night by the police who needed him to move his car. It wasn't illegally parked but they needed to gain access.
He did and by necessity drove it on to the road. He was subsequently charged with drink driving. Surely I dreamt that?

I'd do the same if it wasn't late at night. And when they came to retrieve their car give them a stern lecture. I wouldn't go to the lengths described, but I think it is fair enough.
We leave notes on the sadly frequent occasions people park on our dropped kerb. I believe it stops that perticular person from re-offending. Eventually there'll be no one left (!)

Hitherto the introduction of 'Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act 2022', occupation on private land without permission was deemed a civil matter and the responsibility of the landowner.
Having said that, the measures incorporated in PCSAC 2022 around trespass, offer very little to help the householder in this scenario.

//Given the ease with which serious wars of attrition can be started between neighbours, I would not mention it to my neighbour unless they brought it up, and then i would explain what I had done, and why, and expect that to be the end of the matter.//
Where does the guy's neighbour come into this ?
