There is nothing to stop you quoting from the highway code but be aware that what it says in there is not always law, read this page http://www.highwaycode.gov.uk/index.htm and notice that non of rule 217 is written in large red print and is therefore not law.
Stormin:
It may not be illegal to block an entrance/exit, but you can get the vehicle towed away for obstruction. If someone persists in parking over your driveway, refusing requests not to do so, then it MAY come under the anti social behaviour laws. :?
Dirty Gertie:
--- Quote from: "borders" ---My sister had a drop kerb put in, the neighbours started to use it to get to their own properties to save the cost of a drop kerb themselves. Turns out my sister cannot do a thing about it legally.
As long as they dont block her from entering or exiting her property.

Hmm, I was always under the impression that traversing the footpath with a motor vehicle, unless there is a dropped kerb to that property was an offence (an unpleasant former resident of my road used to do that, until he was 'told not to' by the powers that be) - he had to go through all the palaver of applying for, and paying for a dropper!! :wink:
Rocketman:
Thanks for all the replies and advice. Looks like I have enough to beat him round the head with next time he comes out spoutig. (either that or a 4 foot tyre lever should do the trick :D )
Baby_Rhino:
Check who made the dropped kerb (or as the Council call it, the "vechicle crossover") as if they come accross one that was built by someone other than an approved council sub contractor then the house owner and the builders are landed in trouble!
Just ring up and ask if he ordered a vechicle crossover from them 8)
