    I live opposite a school and regularly have my drive blocked. I could do with some of that!

    Doesn't matter that it's illegal, and the police would be there 5 minutes later than they have driven off!..

    So now.
    I generally just leave my car blocking the road and there car and walk off...

    Even worse when there is rain!

    Shot gun be better
    Problem is that a) most of the parking is classed as abandonment and b) the yummy mummy's are dolled up ready to hit the soul lounge while bambino look like they've been rushed dressed

    Don't be unreasonable, you're allowed to park like that when dropping off or picking up kids from school. Normal parking laws don't apply - you can park at 45 degrees across both lanes, blocking the entire road, if you want.

    The same principles apply if you're fetching fish and chips.

    Of course. Hazard lights mean you can park anywhere, they serve the important function of warning people that you've blocked their drive, so they know not to get angry about it.

    A school? Pah! You should try living across from Percy Turners! I've known people park on my drive not just blocking it!

    Now I've calmed down a bit from nearly getting squashed o can safely say hospital staff are just as bad.
