We you do the asking whilst you were dressed as a drama queen?

Quite legal to park across an empty drive

Not necessarily. THC says "DO NOT" block a dropped kerb. It depends on your council as to whether they will enforce this.

Under the Traffic Management Act 2004, grant councils that are Special Enforcement Areas (SPA) the power to enforce contravention code 27: Parked adjacent to a dropped footway.

Also, it may well fall under "causing an unnecessary obstruction, which is explicitly illegal."

The empty / occupied drive thing is an old wives' tale though, it's nonsense.


Thank you Cougar. I was going to post similar.
I've investgated this at length (due to asshat neighbour issues in the past).
The kerb is there to allow access to a driveway, hard standing etc. If there is nothing to access then you can park across it. i.e. if there was a dropped kerb for a driveway that is no longer there.
