How to remove a parked car

[T i m]

Agreed, especially if you are someone who just wants to get on with it.

We have something similar with a mini roundabout that was once just a side road off the high street.

Going South (straight across with the side road to your left) there is a 'Keep Left' bollard on a small pedestrian island that is right in the way of most car indicators. This means you have to assume

*everyone* will be turning right in front of you till the very last second (when you have nearly come to a halt) and you can see their indicators (previously masked by said bollard).

They are and they aren't ....

"Leaving ?things? (including advertising boards) on the highway

According to the Highways Act 1980 ( Section 148 and Section 149) it is an offence if ?a person deposits any thing whatsoever on a highway to the interruption of any user of the highway without lawful authority or excuse or if the thing ?constitutes a nuisance? ? or constitutes a ?danger to users of the highway (including a danger caused by obstructing the view)? then they they can remove it without delay and recover the cost of removal from the owner. This can be used by councils (sometimes) to removed advertising boards."

It was obvious from the very beginning.

Only to someone who doesn't have a clue.

It has to be possible because you are allowed to drive to and from an MoT test appointment (within limits).

[T i m]

Agreed.

Interesting.

A mate received a 'put it on a SORN, get it insured or get a fine' letter from the DVLA for a motorbike he had laid up in his back garden (and hadn't ridden and had no intention of riding).

So if you keep something off road and don't tell them, they get upset. But if you tell them it's off road when it isn't, that's ok.

ped kerbs left where there is no longer a driveway, or driveways where t= hey haven't bothered dropping the kerb.

I ignore those. They can walk round me.

cially as urgently as your wife), I'd reverse into the offending car and= shove it out of my way.

They started it. So surely it's like self defence?

My daughter asked me for a pet spider for her birthday, so I went to our= local pet shop and they were =A370! Blow this, I thought, I can get one= cheaper off the web.

=80=9D =E2=80=98 or

That falls down at " to the interruption of any user of the highway " as= the ramps don't get in anybody's way.

And there are loads round here, in council estates and decent areas.

A man came home from work earlier than usual and caught his wife in bed = with his best friend. Enraged, the husband grabbed a gun and shot his friend. His wife said, "You know, if you go on like this, you're going to lose A= LL your friends."

It's done deliberately to slow down traffic approaching the roundabout, because you can't see what is approaching from the right due to said signage/bushes/naked dancing ladies/whatever.

I would have thought that was obvious.

Idiotic interpretation.

They get upset because you have not paid tax, not because you decide to keep it off-road.

[James Wilkinson]

Typical. They only care about money, not safety. For example you get in more trouble for no tax than no MOT.

In article , James Wilkinson writes

A few pavements notably in London have been strengthened to take park cars, but mostly they haven't and the result is that they sink, slabs break and become a serious hazard for the elderly.

[bert]

No you wouldn't.

It may well have been done in the 1930s when car ownership was very limited.

[James Wilkinson]

Hardly ever happens, and they should look where they're going. Anyway if there's car parked there, they can't trip on them :-)

[James Wilkinson]

You have no idea what I do when angry.

[T i m]

And there are none here or anywhere I have seen because the cyclists pull them up and throw them in the bushes.

They can most certainly cause problems such as preventing rainwater running away down the gutter as it should. That could be interpreted as causing an interruption.

[James Wilkinson]

It goes round them.
