Hi all,
I am a quiet bloke that lives on a busy road. To drive the car out of the unit block is tricky as its a busy road and when there are big cars or trucks parked on one side of the driveway exit, visibility is limited.
Constantly there are cars that park with their backside or front right on the edge of the driveway curb - there is a white line on either side of the driveway that gets ignored.
When cars are parked like this I have to cross both sides of traffic as I cannot do a sharp 90 degree turn making exiting dangerous. I have talked to the police and council and they don't do much - The police will only ring the car owner if it's fully blocking the driveway and the council state they will send someone out to check which never happens.
I got some paper stickers stating "I park like a (Profanity)" to stick on these cars but don't want to get in trouble with the police — Is this the best solution? I have stopped people sometimes when I see it happen and either I get ignored or people move on - there is lots of visiting traffic full of young assholes (male and female) that just ignore me as parking is a premium especially in summer. Note: I am not a huge bloke that can intimidate people :)
Edit: thank you all — I have taken photos of cars with their asses and front hanging right at the edge and ignoring the white lines and also the visibility issues getting out into the main road. I will also see if anyone else in the unit block is willing to sign an application for the driveway more visibility marked and mirror on pole to see over parked cars when exiting. There is a neighbour whose kid is doing chemo so i will try to see if they have issues getting out as that will be much more powerful to include than some old bloke . This always gets worse in summer as Unit is near a beach and big 4WD with wheels attached to the back love making exiting hard!
snap send solve.
The end.
