I had some success with section 86 orf the Traffic Management Act 2004 : Traffic Management Act 2004 Part 6 Sec. 86 86Prohibition of parking at dropped footways etc.. (1)In a special enforcement area a vehicle must not be parked on the carriageway adjacent to a footway, cycle track or verge where—. (a)the footway, cycle track or verge has been lowered to meet the level of the carriageway for the purpose of—. (i)assisting pedestrians crossing the carriageway,. (ii)assisting cyclists entering or leaving the carriageway, or. (iii)assisting vehicles entering or leaving the carriageway across the footway, cycle track or verge; or. (b)the carriageway has, for a purpose within paragraph (a)(i) to (iii), been raised to meet the level of the footway, cycle track or verge.. This is subject to the following exceptions. (2)The first exception is where the vehicle is parked wholly within a designated parking place or any other part of the carriageway where parking is specifically authorised.. A “designated parking place” means a parking place designated by order under section 6, 9, 32(1)(b) or 45 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 (c. 27). (3)The second exception is where the vehicle is parked outside residential premises by or with the consent (but not consent given for reward) of the occupier of the premises.. This exception does not apply in the case of a shared driveway. My neighbour parked over our shared driveway so we couldn't leave, or parked in the driveway -blocking it altogether, and allowed his visitors to park in the driveway etc. Point out that this 3 penalty points and (then) a £60 fine soon stopped the problem, especially when making it obvious that we were photographing the transgressors, and threatening to email the photo's to the police. IF the police refuse to act, then you might want to look at the Criminal Justice and Courts Act 2015 (c. 2) section 26 - police can now be jailed for 14 years for being naughty re doing their duty ie failing to do it, or threatening to ..... See which part of the Act suits you best.

Everybody is subject to the Official Secrets Act. To say that you are not is like saying 'I haven't read the Road Traffic Act, so it doesn't apply to me' (eg when I'm speeding!). Besides which, the Act is long, and 'they' state you have to sign it, really meaning you sign to say you have read it in the few seconds they give you, when it takes hours to read and, most importantly, understand! This is a try on/psy-op/frightener or an ego stroke for some (I'm subject to the OFA - polish ego/smirk). If it's in the public interest e.g. Sinking of the Belgrano, it's good to whistleblow. I was once told that blowing the whistle about ammunition trains passing under populated areas in Wolverhampton would get me shot for breaching the OFA. I'm still here, and the practice was stopped due to public outcry. Waves to Sid (the guy who threatened me with the OFA)!

Greetings. This is my first post, so hello. My problem with the DVLA is thus: Mr J T Surname writes to DVLA to say he has recently moved to new address. Can I have a new driving licence please? DVLA then send Mr J T Surname vehicle tax reminder 2 months later. Mr J T Surname writes back, saying he knows nothing about this car. It isn't his, never was, and returns all paperwork. DVLA then sent really officious letter to Mr J T Surname, and a copy of the first registration document saying that he quite clearly is the person on the document, and by the way, why hasn't he informed the DVLA that the car is now at a different address (mine!) or that the car has been sold (to whom?) ? The documents sent by the DVLA shows my name - Mr M J Surname, and all my details. I bought the car new (6 years ago), and still have it! So I telephone the DVLA to ask why they are making a case for Mr J T Surname being me (Mr M J Surname), and why are they saying that Mr J T Surname has sold the car to me, when I am the original owner. They reply Duh! So I ask them to get a senior manager to phone back. 2 hours pass. Mr Officious Manager phones back, and makes every kind of evasive pathetic excuse including that I must live at Mr J T Surname's address! The post office must have delivered the letter to the wrong address, even though they delivered the letters to Mr J T Surname's correct postal address - he bought all the letters round to my address which he obtained from the original registration document! Also I must have had all the letters at my address because the car was recently taxed - I taxed it online using the reg' number etc because I had received no reminder, so couldn't use the reference number that asked for on the website. Mr Officious Manager starts to shout at me down the phone!!!!! I have to admit that I put the phone down on this person! I have now made a complaint of Data Protection Act breach to the Information Commissioner Central Office, and to the Welsh Info' Comm; and to the customer services manager at the DVLA. i.e. the DVLA sent my details to a third party. Mr J T Surname is quite happy that he found a solution to his problem i.e. he found me via the data sent to him by the DVLA, because it means that he won't be prosecuted! I have all the paperwork given to me by Mr J T Surname. I am quite happy because this shows what everybody knew anyway i.e. the DVLA are not to be trusted with data, and I intend that the DVLA is prosecuted for this incident. Case ongoing - will report back with further developments.
