Hey girls 
Does anyone know the rules for parking on a street?
I'll explain.
We live in a new estate, the house is around 8 years old now i think. We live right at the end, down a private drive in a large house. We have space for two cars outside our house. There are only four other houses at the end of the road, everyone else on the street is a modern flat. So there is visitor parking for each of the flats, which hardly anybody uses. Most people just park half on the pavement outside their houses which makes it very annoying turning into the street.
The other day we had a landscaper taking up our drive as we were having work done. I came home with Riley and shopping, and parked on the street at the end of our drive, behind another parked car. (there were roughly 5-6 parked around on the street as there usually is.)
A guy apparently came down the drive, and threatened our landscaper (obviously thinking he lived in our property) that he better move his 'effing' car from outside his house before it got keyed because he had the right to park outside his house, nobody else did and he should 'call the police'.
This guy has two parking spaces on his drive, and a garage.. Just as we do. And I was parked at the side of his house, so nowhere near blocking his driveway/blocking him from doing anything, I was just near his house!. There were cars parked near me on the pavement in the exact same way.
I wouldn't have been bothered if he was nice, and came down asking if we minded moving / that he couldn't get in his drive, but he was very rude and had two spaces on his driveway free.
So, how does it work? Does he have the right make people move/call the police, for being parked near his house if its not covering his driveway/is on the street? (No yellow/white lines). As far as i was aware, he doesn't own the street... and i wasnt blocking his drive, i was at the side of his house and was happily moving half an hour later when the landscaper left!
I hate how rude some people can be. x
