Blocked in by car double parked

[albion534]

What's the deal here

Basically. My gf goes to uni. And parks her car on the street with ZERO parking restrictions.
She returned to a letter on her car saying if she parks there again. The residents will block her in.

So say she parks there again. Which she is entitled to do. What can she do if she's blocked in. Lol.

You could always post fresh turds through all of their letterboxes?

Not an authority on it but I would think that she can put 2 fingers up at the posters of the notice as they would be the ones offending

I did tell her that. Or put a spud up the exhaust

Keep letter. Take pictures. Park where you want.

Good advice (keep saving your turds though).

Police matter

Suggest she rings the police as say that this threatening letter has frightened her and she fears violence or damage to her vehicle if she parks where she is legally entitled to do. I would image some PCOs will call round to put the residents right

Is it possible for her to park elsewhere on the same street? Was this the first time she had parked in that particular spot?

She goes to uni in Winchester. Not just her. Think people park on the street as it's free.

Ignore threats from playground bullies.
Someone did it to me a several years back but left enough room (after a few judicious slow-moving nudges back and forth) to exit via the pavement.

Winchester blimey posh bullies.

An on board camera to snap 'em at it would help identify these bullies.

Not sure if they will, I reckon they will say park somewhere else but its worth a try.

It is illegal to block someone in or to otherwise prevent them leaving. Even if they park on your drive or property.

Oh, they will. We had this exact situation in our street a couple of years ago. Someone came back to his (legally parked) car to find a note saying that it would be damaged if it was parked there again.

He called the police and all the local residents were questioned about the note and warned that if anything happened to the car, the police would take action. It didn't bother us as we don't have a car but there were clearly some angry residents

People seem to think they own the road outside of their property, which, of course, they don't. If there are no parking restrictions, anyone can park there.

As for the police, the letter is threatening behaviour, which is a criminal offence.

Amazing how many people seem to think they have a right to park exactly outside their houses. See more and more putting cones, bins etc outside their houses now.
