Can anyone advise me whether the following is legal? A neighbour has two cars. One is parked on his drive. The second is parked on the road directly outside his property. When the second car is not there a traffic cone is put in its place thereby ensuring that no-one else can use this stretch of road to park. The council have been extraordinarily unhelpful and told me to ask the police. Ridiculous as this is clearly NOT a police matter. Can anyone help?
if the drive way does not have a dropped kerb then you can park there and block him in, personally i like to buy knackered cars for scrap price, and then leave them taxed for a year in front these people's driveways. Secondly he has no right whatsoever to place a cone on the road, you can move it and park no problems.

1.Take the cone and wrap it in priest-sock black crepe paper.

2. If you're not actually a crone yourself, obtain one.

3. Ensure crone is familiar with the work of the Brothers Grimm, Aleister Crowley and has some knowledge of rudimentary incantations. Evil ones of some sort.

4. Insert crone's head into cone.

5. Install crone onto neighbour's drive.

6. She should 'arthritis' her fingers, narrow her eyes and mutter vague incantations. All the while interspersed with cackling and raving. I'd let her conduct her own business here. Think 'improv'.

7. Sit back and watch while neighbour initially blusters at crone, then becomes fearful, then scared, then terrified, sells up and moves to Swindon.

8. Smile, sit back, pick up the phone and get a lifetime subscription to Witch magazine.

Oh come on you lot....never have I seen such trite and mediocre solutions to such a blatant form of 'in your face' middle class pettiness.


Now I can see why so many of you would see the cone in question as a means to sodomize the offender with such as Ratty explained but in future you should display more imagination when exacting revenge against your neighbour.


If I were in rubyroo's shoes I'd somehow restrain the enemy and use the traffic cone as a funnel to pour petrol down the guys throat and throw a match down there whilst I made his children watch as he went up in flames.


Simple when you think about it.

Thank you Hona. This is testiment that great minds certainly think alike.

word to the wise mate


Seriously tho, why would anyone have a problem with this - if he has a need to move the car in the driveway and his second car is parked in front, problem solved. If it's someone else parked out front what do people who think he should do?


And people think I'M anti-driver - sheesh

The OP said the cone is placed on the road outside his property, not in front of his drive. So, my understanding was that the neighbour puts one car on the driveway (which I'm assuming has a dropped kerb so no-one is allowed to park in front of it) and uses the cone to save a whole different space for the second car. Which seems unfair and annoying.

If I've misunderstood and the cone is in front of the driveway to remind people not to block the first car in, that's different.

ahhh I see - I read it differently


That being the case then, just park away. What's the worst that can happen? A cone isn't exactly legally binding is it?


But AFN's post suggested it was a driveway-related double parkage.



As well as displaying (yet again) his value to the progression of the human species. Ahem

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
