Having someone park on your driveway without permission can be frustrating. While it may be tempting to react immediately, it’s important to handle the situation thoughtfully to avoid conflict and legal complications.
First, try to address the issue politely. If you recognize the vehicle owner, ask them to move their car. Often, a simple conversation resolves the matter quickly. If the person is uncooperative or unknown, check your local laws regarding unauthorized parking on private property. Many areas allow property owners to have vehicles towed if they are blocking access.
Before arranging towing, consider posting clear “No Parking” signs to deter future incidents. Contact a licensed towing service familiar with local regulations to ensure the process is handled legally. Keep records of all communications and actions taken, just in case the situation escalates.

Fines for unauthorized parking vary by location and may be enforced by local authorities or through civil claims if damages occur. Understanding your rights and responsibilities can help you take appropriate action.
Ultimately, while dealing with unauthorized parking can be inconvenient, approaching the matter diplomatically often leads to the best outcomes for everyone involved.
