Many homeowners have experienced this frustration
It can be incredibly frustrating when another motorist blocks access to your driveway. Not only does it prevent easy access to and from your property, it can also lead to altercations with neighbours, particularly if the driver lives nearby. Problems can escalate quickly in areas where driveway space is limited to a few properties on the street.
According to the Highway Code, motorists are not allowed to park on dropped kerbs that appear in front of a driveway. You might even get a ticket if your vehicle is only partially covering one. The only exception to this is if a driver is forced to stop or park as a result of stationary traffic. However, according to the RAC, it is legal to park outside someone's house, as long as their entrance is not blocked and they have enough space to access their property.
