What the ? Reversing

Don't people know how to reverse cars? Cars pull up opposite my drive making it very difficult to get out, I politely ask them to back up a little into the space behind them and they drive off all together, it seems people don't know how to put their cars into reverse and back up a few feet :facepalm: rant over

It may be something to do with the crowbar you swing menacingly while asking them??

Saw a tv program last night on shit parking, some shouldn't have a license IMO. :(

Two things that worry me, firstly these people are allowed to drive and more worryingly they are allowed to vote :eek:

I get exactly the same standard of parking here some will just drive off when challenged some will move a bit to block next doors drive instead of ours & some will try to argue, of those the usual first words are 'you will get out of there easy' my usual reply is ok but are you willing to pay for the petrol for me to go 2 miles around the block to end up facing the way I want to go or would you prefer to put it in that parking spot over there where it wont get accidentally damaged, most move ;)

I had the same problem at my old house too but staring up my old the 109 landy & shouting I am going out now so shift usually saw a mad rush to get the feck away from the end of my drive :D

I used find getting a towing strap out the boot after reversing my 4x4 up to the front of the car did the trick

I remember a mate of mine using his Landie to push a car out of the way when we found it blocked in at a pub carpark. Some local "hard man" had parked his Granada across the front of him and told Alan to "f*ck off, I'll be out when I've finished me pint".

I used my mates wheel skates to turn one around so it blocked the road completely, eventually the coppers turned up in an x5 & dragged the thing out of the road :D the bloke wasn't pleased when he came out of the pub saw the state of his tyres + the plod breath tested him & advised him to walk home :p

I also blocked a van in with my landie one end & my mates landie the other then went to work, it was still there 9 hours later when I came home & still there the next morning when plod knocked on the door & asked me politely if I could let the van driver out
