So you are saying that it's pefectly fine to park in awkward / dangerious places when alternative options are available to you? - I should point out that there are other places available to park on the road.

I know I am at fault for hitting the car, I am just really fked off with this attatude of general abandonment because it's always fault of the poor ******* who you **just** about impossible for them to get access to their property, but thats not your problem though,

If there are a lot of alternative places, I will absolutely agree. Sorry, I misunderstood that your street was full of parked cars.

Actually this is daily annoyance in Amsterdam, I can write a complete book on it, sometimes drivers even block you while driving your car right in front of your face and then you have to use all your drivers skill to get out of the situation (or patience until they finally leave).

I can see how it's awkward but personally I'd have the gates off and the hedge on the left of the photo cut back. Trim the hedge on the right and remove gate. If still not enough room, remove hedge on right and install fence like the drive opposite. It won't make you feel any better about her stupid attitude but i'm sure you'll find it easier to get in and out of your driveway.

I know there is cost involved in the fencing but maybe you could do most of the removal/hedge cutting yourself? just an idea.

The photos aren't really much good at showing you how quiet and wide the road is. It must be at least 2 and a half cars wide, possibly even 3, it's the width of most town roads. No bugger parks on it, and there is very little traffic going past.

I'm not sure quite how you managed it chris, I don't reckon you could do it again. You should just chalk it up as an accident, and save your breath trying to find fault - there is only one person to blame if you insist on there being fault, and that is you. Blaming someone for parking their car on a public road is a bit childish, who are you to say where they should park? Would you park on the opposite side of the road to the house you were going to? Would you heck - you park as close as you possibly can so you don't have to walk.

Sure the driver of the car may have been ****ed off when they first contacted you, but it's understandable since you hit their parked car which will now inconvenience them and leave them without the use of their car for at least a day.

Luke, the road is 2 cars wide, you know that.

It is quiet though which is why it's so ****ing inconsiderate to park over someones driveway

I'm not blaming them for the accient I hit them I am saying it was a ****ing stupid place to park and I'm sure if someone abbanoned their car 1 car length behind your bay in your courtyard you would be ****ing throwing your toys out of the pram like a proper **** (and don't even deny that with your temper laddo)

You also know for a fact that I park only where it's safe and considerate to do, even having to park sodding miles away before now rarther then block access to someones drive.

The gate removal is probably a good idea, again it's not been an issue until someone parked over the end

take it outside boys!

Can we have an aerial Google Maps overview of the scene please

I took a pic from the end of the road facing in at 5am this morning as I left for work, will post tonght (typical nights parking so you will see why I was so ****ed)
