How can we ask one of our neighbours to stop parking his 3 limo's and people carrier right outside our house when he has his own drive, garage, and space outside his own house?? we dont have space for friends or family to park outside when they come now because our drive has our car in it. We have asked them before tomove them but they made us feel really awkward. its not just us its bothering, its our other neighbours too.

Yeah the limos and people carrier are for business because his staff come her in thier cars, pick thelimo's up and leave thier cars in the limo's spaces that are left. they ever crashed the limo into my fence when i was there and drove off.

I get the same problem where I live, most of the houses have a few cars and they park in front of other people's houses. I have no driveway yet (just a garden at the moment), when I first moved in the kerb was still at a normal height and the whole world parked there (including the taxi-driving neighbours 2 doors down, they own 2 taxis and a normal saloon car). We dropped the kerb (£600, rip-off council) in preparation for our future driveway and the taxi has stopped parking there but the rest still do it! I spoke to a police officer about it but I was informed it's only illegal if they trap your car in your driveway, apart from that, they have every right to park alongside your dropped kerb even if you have a driveway! I found this crazy but it's true. I've found no way around it so far, I politely asked some of the neighbours to stop but it started a war ("no, this road's just as much mine as it is yours, I pay my road tax!", etc). I think the next option will be to obtain some police cones...

The only out you may have is any local parking ordinance that states how long a vehicle may be left parked on the street in one spot. This is usually 3 days, if there is such an ordinance. Otherwise... not a lot you can do about it.

So you have a drive outside your house? If he is parking in front of this he is breaking the law anyway as it is illegal to park infront of any drop kerb and I'm sure a parking inspector would love to help you. Otherwise I think you are pretty much left with no way of stopping him. As long as his car has tax and insurance he can park anywhere he likes.

Oh dear, what a sad neighbour you have. A) Complain to the authorities, B) Complain to the Police. If neither of those work, C) Find a good lawyer & take him to court. Finally, not a v.good idea but D) Start a personal war by parking in front of their house with the worst possible car you can find or E) Get some thugs to do some dirty work!!! lol.
Good luck.

If he is running a limo hire business from home (which it sounds like) it may be worth asking the council if he has permission to run such a business from home given the impact it is having on your quality of life.

Sorry, the road is a public right of way, and anyone can park on it . However, a limousine is considered a commercial vehicle in most states. Call your local motor vehicle department to find out if your state does. Many municipalities prohibit commercial vehicles from parking overnight, and some prohibit commercial vehicles from parking on residential streets. Check your local city hall to see if either apply.

park your car in your space, or if your mate gets a bus into town have him park his at yours. i've the same problem people use my street as a free car park because the hospital is at the end of the street. so my car stays where it is during working hours i pay rates for my space aint nobody else going to take it.

Get a petition from all your neighbors and hand it in to the local council, he doesnt have a right to park his work cars in the street if other people need to use it, but then again you dont have a right either

park your car, exceptionally arkwardly on the road, block as many of his favorite spaces ad possible so he has to re think his parking and leave your drive empty, it'll soon piss him off. Or if they're bad enough drivers to hit your fence, hire a skip for a week and plonk it in the road as arkward as you can. they won't reverse into that!!

Nobody has a god-given right to use a particular piece of road to park, even if it's outside your house, not you or your neighbour. First come first served is the rule but it seems a shame neighbours can';t get together and sort this out amicably.
