If there is no dropped kerb, then you are not causing any obstruction.
In fact I would intentionally park across a driveway that has been built without a dropped kerb just to make a point that the house owner is a cheapskate.
West Sussex County Council charge over £700 to approve a dropped kerb application.
How do you insure a car without an MOT ?.
Also, if the DVLA argument is that it is not actually a car at the moment (so that they can ignore the obvious offences) then surely it is an obstruction on the public highway. Unless of course it is a private road, in which case surely the landowners can remove it after giving suitable notice.
One very common way is to go to one of the comparison websites, fill in your details, pick an insurer, accept the contract, and pay them some money.
Alternatively one can go direct to an insurer, eg Direct Line, or to a physical broker.
And of course accepting the current insurance company's quote for a renewal.
The process is identical to insuring a car with an MOT, because no insurance company requires an MOT to issue insurance.

If you STOLE mine, I'd fit another and boobytrap it with explosives so I could find out who did it.
Most councils allow it, it makes the roads clearer.
It's your council being retards. You OWN that pavement, and ALLOW the council to maintain it and ALLOW people to walk along it. But it's YOURS.
If the council want dropped kerbs for driveways, they must pay for it themselves.
I'm stating a fact.

The council here can't be bothered maintaining land, which means I got some for free.
And what would you do to the morons on my street who have a drive but can't be bothered using it, then park on the other side of the road to everyone else!
It's on my title deed. So is the road in fact.

You really are the neighbour from hell !!.. The local authority OWN the roads and pavements and any grass verge between road and pavement, (unless your deeds state otherwise or it is an UN-ADOPTED road).
Nope. YOU have to pay the county council (or what ever authority owns the roads and pavements) a FEE to approve a dropped kerb. Then YOU have to PAY an authorised contractor to do the work to the councils specification, which may required altering highways drainage.
Until you do this anyone can park on that section of road and they are not causing any obstruction (red/yellow lines apart).
Tell us your address and we'll all come round and remove them.
Mine state otherwise and I've been told in the legal group that's the norm. Apparently it's easier when building houses to divide up the land to each house, rather than also have strips owned by the council.
IF you want the convenience of not bumping your tyre over the kerb.
They are obstructing you from driving out of your driveway. Refusing to accept it's a driveway because of the height of the kerb is downright childish. Are you one of those clowns that stands on the bridge near me and counts trains?
That would be difficult as I don't have any.
But not as hard as it seems to be for some folk to realised when they're being trolled.

Yes.
Reducing sight lines leads to reduced entry speed and reduced accident rates (or so it's believed).
