Is the Range Rover Sport the apex in arsehole wheels ?

[BigMoaner]

That car is ours...

Was referring to the other driver

 

[dessiato]

It'll get worse. The village is getting new parking restrictions which will mean we have to park at the back, alongside the stable, because the front will be double yellows.

I should get a Range Rover

 

[BigMoaner]

Get a couple of local lumps to have a word

“No parking, vehicles will be clamped” sign?

Imagine not being able to leave your shit lying around on public property. Oppression, that's what it is.

Can't clamp cars in Scotland, unless you're the police or council.

Same in the UK England. Private company clamping was banned about 10 years ago.

Och aye. Post edited.

I’ve been looking at this. We have someone who parks on a small piece of our land alongside our stable. They block our access completely. According to Scottish Police it’s not criminal, but the vehicle can be towed, eventually. We can do little about it except report it. I need to find a way of getting revenge, legally. So far I’m tempted to leave a screw or nail against the tyres so it punctures them. But if this caused an accident I’d never be able to live with myself.

Have you spoken to the owner?

Haven't found them, yet.

 

[nogojones]

If it were me, I'd leave a note on their window explaining the problem, because people are stupid and they might not realise that they are a problem.

If that fails I'd then start the campaign of their car never working again.

Done the first part. Now to the second.

I think it all came about because the f-i-l didn't use the back after he stopped driving.

It's very difficult to see the gates from the house, and you can't see the other side at all.

This rage makes me warm to tyre extinguishers a bit more.

Since our village became a popular weekend visiting spot, one particular couple often found some wanker had parked in their little drive, which is away from their house but has a little garage at its end, so it’s very obvious that it’s a private drive. When confronted, people say things like, “I was only there for a few hours” and “you can still access your garage” (which means on foot rather than get in and out of it and is incorrect anyway). So he bought a wheel clamp. When they eventually come round to his house, if they are apologetic, which is never, he would just unlock it. But when they inevitably start shouting at him in self-entitled rage, he calmly goes out back and gets his shotgun. He doesn’t demand any money or anything, just tells them that they can come back for their car tomorrow. Don’t mess with country folk.

I don't have a shotgun.

 

[kabbes]

I don't have a shotgun.

There’s your problem right there

 

[High Voltage]

I don't have a shotgun.

No, but you could easily and legally get an air rifle. If trained armed police can't tell the difference you can bet your bottom dollar that Mr Rage(sic) Rover won't

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

After a long wait it's finally here, get your orders in quick...

 

[DownwardDog]

This is what I mean. (This car is ours though). A car parked here means you can't open the gates. The patch of land the car is on is ours.

Just drive a couple of star shaped steel fence posts into the ground. Cut them off at 300mm if you want them to drive into them and fuck their car.

Anybody normal would call the Old Bill at that point and he'd get locked up.

What for, precisely? And what happens when the Old Bill start asking the complainant why he was trespassing on somebody else’s land, i.e. parking on somebody’s drive?

I'd say Possession of firearm with intent to cause fear of violence (Firearms Act 1968) would be a start. And trespass is a civil offence AFAIK.

Holding it calmly in response to somebody coming to your front door to shout at and threaten you? Yeah, good luck making that stick.

 

[youbeauty]

I'm pretty sure a call along the lines of "Hello, is that the police? Someone's clamped my car and, when I went to talk to them about it, they brought a shotgun to the door" would get a fairly swift response. What other purpose would holding the gun serve other than to threaten violence? If it's not to threaten, what benefit does your neighbour gain from holding it? Parking in someone's driveway is a shit thing to do, but bringing guns into a dispute is orders of magnitude worse.
