Homeowners in the UK facing difficulties with vehicles blocking their driveways can now refer to specific advice issued by police and motoring experts, alleviating frustrations surrounding this common problem. The Metropolitan Police suggests starting with a polite request to the vehicle's owner for them to move their car. If the owner is not reachable on-site, leaving a note on the windscreen is advisable as a first step in resolving the situation.

Most local councils have adopted Civil Parking Enforcement (CPE) regulations, making it an offence to block dropped kerb driveways. This empowers homeowners to act against cars obstructing their driveways by reporting these incidents directly to their local council if CPE is in effect in their area. This approach ensures that there is a structured way to handle such infractions, thereby improving parking discipline and reducing conflicts.

For areas where CPE hasn't been implemented, the guidance suggests that homeowners should contact their local council for alternative measures or support. The police and RAC have underscored the importance of understanding these regulations, aiming to help improve the community's overall parking situation and provide homeowners with manageable solutions.
