A man has expressed his frustration over an 'entitled' neighbour who persistently blocks his driveway, forcing him to perform complex manoeuvres to exit his property. Despite ample street parking, the neighbour parks partially over the driveway, requiring the man to execute a six-point turn to leave.
After polite notes and a direct conversation failed, the man called bylaw enforcement, who issued a warning, but the behaviour continued. Recently, the neighbour parked fully across the driveway, forcing the man to wait 20 minutes inside his car before the neighbour reappeared.
Taking to Reddit, the man shared his ordeal, stating he is now considering calling the police daily. Commenters advised contacting the police non-emergency line to understand local laws and potentially having the vehicle towed to a lot with high storage costs.
According to the Met Police, the local authority should be the first point of contact for such issues. They recommend politely asking the vehicle owner to move it and avoiding physical threats or moving the vehicle oneself. For leased properties, contact the building manager. Further advice is available from Citizens Advice.
