You wake up one morning, or arrive home from work one evening, and find someone has parked in your driveway. Your first thought would probably be that this is totally unacceptable and a matter for the police. But you\u2019d be wrong.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">I asked legal experts and car experts to explain what you can do if someone parks in your driveway. They all said the same thing. In particular, they each flagged some things you definitely should do \u2014 and one thing you definitely shouldn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Paul Britton, CEO of <a aria-label=\"Britton &amp; Time law firmLink opens in a new tab.\" class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/brittontime.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" tabindex=\"0\" target=\"_blank\">Britton &amp; Time law firm<\/a> in London and Brighton, said: \u201cIf someone actually parks on your drive it\u2019s trespass, a civil matter, not usually a crime. That means police often won\u2019t attend unless there\u2019s aggravation (threats, damage, breach of the peace).\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Paul advised taking the following steps:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"UnorderedList_unordered-list__gzblI\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"unordered-list\">\n<li class=\"LiItem_li-item__IF4xI\">Put a clear note on the windscreen asking them to move and giving a time limit<\/li>\n<li class=\"LiItem_li-item__IF4xI\">If you can identify them locally, ask them directly (keep it calm)<\/li>\n<li class=\"LiItem_li-item__IF4xI\">If it\u2019s persistent, consider a solicitor\u2019s warning letter and then civil action if needed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">But he added: \u201cYou can\u2019t clamp them. Private clamping is generally unlawful. If someone dumps a car on your drive the law gives you civil remedies but no quick DIY removal route. Don\u2019t damage it, push it into the road, block it in, clamp it or tow it. Don\u2019t get into a confrontation \u2014 especially if you\u2019re filming or they are.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Even if your own car is blocked in by a rogue parker, you don\u2019t have an immediate and obvious remedy.

You should not block the vehicle in or attempt to clamp it yourself, as this could lead to legal trouble. Instead, try to locate the owner and take photos for evidence. If it becomes a recurring issue, clear signage or legal advice may be appropriate, but a calm and proportionate response is always recommended.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Benson Varghese, a criminal defence lawyer at <a aria-label=\"Varghese SummersettLink opens in a new tab.\" class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/versustexas.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" tabindex=\"0\" target=\"_blank\">Varghese Summersett<\/a> law firm, said: \u201cParking on your actual private driveway without your permission is trespass, although this is a civil matter and not a criminal one, which means the police will not get involved simply because someone is parked on your driveway. The council will also not be able to move the vehicle from your private property unless it is abandoned or a danger to others.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Benson also said the \u201cbest course of action in this situation\u201d is to:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"UnorderedList_unordered-list__gzblI\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"unordered-list\">\n<li class=\"LiItem_li-item__IF4xI\">Approach the owner if you can identify them \u2014 it may be a simple mistake<\/li>\n<li class=\"LiItem_li-item__IF4xI\">Leave a polite note asking them to move the car<\/li>\n<li class=\"LiItem_li-item__IF4xI\">If it is a regular problem with the same individual, you may want to take civil action, such as an action for nuisance, in the county courts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">But he was also clear on what you shouldn\u2019t do: \u201cTinkering with another person\u2019s car, be it moving it, damaging it, or doing anything else, can land you in legal trouble.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">\u201cBeing blocked in or having your driveway used without your permission is incredibly frustrating, but the legally sound way of dealing with it is through calm communication and the appropriate enforcement authority\u2014not through taking the law into your own hands.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"HeadingThree_heading-three__PBHLs  __className_5e3115\"><strong class=\"Strong_strong__e2x35\">Is it illegal for someone else to park on your driveway?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">You may be surprised to hear it is not a criminal offence for someone to park their car on your drive. Instead, it is the civil offence of trespass so it\u2019s unlikely the police will get involved in the absence of aggravating circumstances.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Even the council might be limited in its response. The Road Traffic Act 1991 transferred responsibility for parking enforcement to local authorities, who can act if the offence is committed on a public highway (ie the road). So if a car is blocking a driveway while parked on a public road, the council can act, most likely by issuing a fine. But when a car is on a drive, it\u2019s technically on private property and the council has no authority to remove it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">If the vehicle has been clearly abandoned, the local council <em>would <\/em>be required to move it regardless of whether it\u2019s on public or private land, but if the car has up-to-date tax, insurance, MOT and isn\u2019t in a dangerous condition the council is powerless to do anything.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"HeadingThree_heading-three__PBHLs  __className_5e3115\"><strong class=\"Strong_strong__e2x35\">How can I stop someone parking on my drive in the first place?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Jonathan Such, motoring expert at vehicle finance provider, <a aria-label=\"First Response FinanceLink opens in a new tab.\" class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.firstresponsefinance.co.uk\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" tabindex=\"0\" target=\"_blank\">First Response Finance<\/a>, made the following suggestions:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"UnorderedList_unordered-list__gzblI\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"unordered-list\">\n<li class=\"LiItem_li-item__IF4xI\">Clearly mark your driveway with visible signage such as \u2018Private Driveway \u2013 No Parking\u2019 \u2014 this can act as a strong deterrent<\/li>\n<li class=\"LiItem_li-item__IF4xI\">Keep access points clear and well defined, repainting faded dropped kerbs where permitted, or installing driveaway markings can also help remove any ambiguity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">And John Wilmot, CEO of car leasing comparison site <a aria-label=\"[object Object]Link opens in a new tab.\" class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=76202X1536629&amp;xs=1&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fleaseloco.com&amp;sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.walesonline.co.uk%2Fnews%2Fuk-news%2Farticle33436342.ece\" rel=\"nofollow\" tabindex=\"0\" target=\"_blank\"><u>LeaseLoco.com<\/u><\/a>, suggested that \u201cwhile the most effective way to protect your property is installing a driveway gate, putting out simple deterrents like parking bollards or posts, cones and signs can also help to prevent strangers from parking in your driveway\u201d.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"HeadingThree_heading-three__PBHLs  __className_5e3115\"><strong class=\"Strong_strong__e2x35\">What should I do and not do if someone parks on my drive?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">More than 10 legal and car experts gave their view on what you could do if someone else\u2019s car is parked on your driveway \u2014 and their views were remarkably consistent.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\"><strong class=\"Strong_strong__e2x35\">DO:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"UnorderedList_unordered-list__gzblI\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"unordered-list\">\n<li class=\"LiItem_li-item__IF4xI\">Try to find out who the driver is<\/li>\n<li class=\"LiItem_li-item__IF4xI\">Leave a polite note on the car explaining your drive is private property and asking them not to do it again<\/li>\n<li class=\"LiItem_li-item__IF4xI\">Document the incident with photographs<\/li>\n<li class=\"LiItem_li-item__IF4xI\">Seek legal advice if it becomes a repeated issue as you may be able to take civil action and the courts have jurisdiction to remove the car (though this could be costly)<\/li>\n<li class=\"LiItem_li-item__IF4xI\">If the vehicle appears to be abandoned permanently, report it to the council which can remove abandoned vehicles from private land where appropriate<\/li>\n<li class=\"LiItem_li-item__IF4xI\">Install a driveway gate, put out simple deterrents like parking bollards or posts, cones and signs to deter and prevent strangers from parking in your driveway<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\"><strong class=\"Strong_strong__e2x35\">DO NOT:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"UnorderedList_unordered-list__gzblI\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"unordered-list\">\n<li class=\"LiItem_li-item__IF4xI\">Do not clamp, damage or tow the vehicle without lawful authority<\/li>\n<li class=\"LiItem_li-item__IF4xI\">Do not push the car into the road.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.walesonline.co.uk\/news\/uk-news\/lawyer-explains-what-you-can-33436342\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is hard to believe but completely correct.
