Overnight parking of hgv's in residential areas

Rob K:

  • Was there a motor blocking Boo’s driveway ? No.

No, but there was a motor blocking his street which meant that should his house catch fire the Fire Brigade wouldn’t have been able to get to it, putting him, his family, and no doubt several of his neighbours at risk.

Rob K:

  • Could Boo still get in and out of his driveway? Yes.

No, but there was a motor blocking his street which meant that should his house catch fire the Fire Brigade wouldn’t have been able to get to it, putting him, his family, and no doubt several of his neighbours at risk.

Rob K:

  • Was the 7.5 tonner actually causing anyone a problem? No.

Yes, the emergency services.

Rob K:

  • Could Boo have easily rectified the situation by talking to the driver? Probably.

At 4am? Sure he could have talked to him, but getting him up at 4am isn’t likely to help in practice. So he did the next best thing - he left a note for him.

Rob K:
End of discussion.

Wrong!
