Am shaking as I write this.. just been out on the front waving goodbye to my dad who was stood in the middle of the drive, when some idiot drove past him missing him by inches and parks his car over three parking spaces (shared parking for three houses) when he was asked to move his car he just walked off. when he returned I suggested to him that he find a public parking space next time, and that In no way would we be held responsable for any damage to his car whilst it was on our property. Well he went balistic at me (all this time my toddler was present) said he knew many important nasty people and would get them to do me and my home over ten time if he wanted.. then told me he was a goverment officer..and could more or less do what he wanted.. have just reported it to police and passed on his reg details.. god it's really shook me up...

The nerve of some people. The main thing is that you were not hurt. Did the police say they can do anything about it?

That's awfull :(

Hope the police have a word with him .

Oh my God!!! You ok sweetie? That's terrible. I would have been scared too.

:o

Was this meant more as a formal legal disclaimer or a threat to key his motor?

Really sorry to hear about that HoneyPlanet, i hate people like that who just seem to love confrontation. They have no right. Hope you are ok, well done for reporting it to the police. x

Dunno they said they would keep a look out for him.. dont know if they will actually do anything... whats worrying though is that he may come back...

People on here are well fast! when i read your message no oe had replied! by the time i replied four other people had simultaneously!!!!

I know he parked across 3 spaces, but that didn't hurt anyone, I wouldn't have had a go at him.

You've definitely done the right thing though by telling the Police. Your little one ok, not too shaken I hope?

*Big Hugs*

If you get his name, get in touch with the Home Office, DWP and DfES, find out where he works and write an official letter of complaint.
I'm a civil servant, and they wont be too keen to hear him making these sort of comments. And we only get away with murder at work!

BUT I would take heed of Disco_Cat's post. He'll certainly try that line if the Police do bother to catch up with him.

Make sure when you tell the police you make this point specifically, when I first read your post it came across as if you'd threatened to damage his car whilst he was away, if the police think you did this they won't have much sympathy for you

They're all galaxys aren't they?

Have you got a description?

Oh I did I explained it in great detail.. told then about the kids playing ect..

threatening behaviour is a crime, so press the police to track him down via his license details and prosecute him.

"Keep a look out for him"???????

They've got his reg number for Christ's sake!!

If it's not HIS car then the legal registered owner is forced by law to say who was driving it at that time, surely.

They should be "Going to see him, NOW" :confused:

Doh!!

By the time I'd typed and posted this half of Sheffield had replied.:rolleyes:

The main thing is you and your father are both ok...and i think you are brave to stand up to this type of scum, i cant stand it when people regard Themselves as someone better....twaddle..:gag: we all have our rights and i say well done!:thumbsup:

I would have a think a long hard think about prosecuting first.

This man sounds like a nutter. UIt would be extremely hard to prove what he did without evidence, that together with the fact that if he does get arrested and nothing happens, he knows where HoneyPlanet lives. I personally would leave it and be thankful that you and your child are ok, but thats just my opinion.

EDIT: I of course meant to say father. Dont know where Child came from :confused:

Agreed - I'm just trying to see if I know who it is and what, if any threat he actually poses.

:thumbsup:

My main reason for calling the police was to log the incident incase anything else happens... but at the end of the day if everyone said nothing to people who are infact trespassing, being abusive ect what would the world be like... not much fun for the good honest folk I should think..

Oh no, babe are you okay?

You did right thing, its inconsiderate parking, obstruction to the rightful owners of the designated parking spot(specifically for the use of the properties it's meant for)
Verbal abuse which was uncalled for and has caused you upset and harassment.
If that had been me I would have slotted him, goverment officer my arse! did he show you any ID to prove this fact?

Any professional would never talk or act in this way, as his job would be on the line.

Complete and utter A*********!!!!!!

Can I just ask ...... was this on a private driveway, a private road or residents only parking spaces on the public road?

(I am not trying to detract from the threatening behaviour, by the way! It would still be unforgiveable regardless of the above)

It's a private driveway/forcourt for three houses. infact really in theory our front gardens..

Is he still there? maybe we should all block him in and verbally abuse him....see how he likes it!

no he took off fairly quickly.. we are looking into getting one of those pole thingys that you can put up or down on the entrance to the forecourt, anyone know where to get one?

There are lots more suppliers around but here are some examples! (http://www.ultrasecureuk.com/prodpage.cfm?CategoryID=21066&CFID=129639&CFTOKEN=60175292)

Different link - now works!

the link wont work for me.. but thanks anyway :)

That man was an idiot to do and say what he did if he is indeed a civil servant using a pool car (and it would be very easy to find out) as he'd get a roasting.

I often see you posting about trouble with your drive - I hope you can get some kind of gate fixed up to save your sanity! :( How about asking the neighbours if you can put a chain across for the time being at least, as they aren't expensive? :)

Think we are going for a pole thanks for the link cgk :thumbsup:

i say do nothin when peaple make threats most of the time they dont do nothin but if u do have anymore trouble just call the police;)

Just wanted to thank you all for your supportive comments and P.Ms still feeling a little shook up but I am sure I will be fine tomorrow.. :thumbsup:

Did you tell him you are in contact with 10,000+ people, some of which are able to keep 24 hr surveillance etc of Sheffield streets :heyhey: :heyhey: :thumbsup:

Hope you are feeling better tonight HP? ;) :)

i wouldnt have said anything about his car being damaged, maybe something along the lines of 'sorry mate, hate to be a pain in the arse, but can u not park around this part again'.

if that doesnt work, try running.

what an arse!

Sorry, I'd have probably caused myself more problems - but I agree.

I would have been quaking either from fear or anger if he'd have threatened me, but the rudeness in itself.

The sheer cheek of it! To park on your DRIVE! I think you had every right to say what you did! lol

I once had a bloke in my garden, bearing in mind, we're off the main road, you have to go through the arch in the hedge, then down the path, he was climbing up the different stages in our garden! We have 3 levels to our garden and there was one man at the top and one at the bottom.

I was so astonished! I had a go too, especially when I politely questioned him and he laughed at me and refused to leave. I contacted the police, simply for trespassing.
You have every right to your own private land and I think it's absolutely disgraceful for others to feel they don't have to respect that.

I'm sorry you've had to deal with this, I sincerely hope you get it sorted. I'll speak up for you!

How bloody rude - I'm so angry now. It makes me so mad. You have a child, what if your next door neighbour was disabled and needed that parking space because of it? People have no consideration.

It's dispicable.

I'm sorry - had to rant, I'm off now, but be rest assured that I totally agree!

Honeyplanet I'm sorry to hear this happened to you. Once you've calmed down tomorrow, call the police and insist they take the matter seriously. Please don't post the idiot's registration number on here though!

Let us know how you get on!

K x

Well I have just got up from an night of really bad sleep...feel a bit better but am still fuming.. the thing thats more worrying is that the speed he pulled on to the forecourt is A. we was not looking where we was going he was too busy being bolshy and B if my toddler was stood in our drive on our property saying goodbye to his grandfarther he would have ran him over... luckily I had him at my side this time but usually he would be running round waving..
Now we have the problem in that the third party involved wont agree to getting anything sorted to prevent it happening again due to it being a hassle to get out of his car to relese the pole or open the gate.. so we are back to square one .... :(

HoneyP I am shocked but not surprised to think that the Police don't seem interested.............so how about you sending a PM to anyone who is interested, giving the reg number of the attackers vehicle.

WHO WANTS A PM WITH HIS NUMBER ? sign below. ;)

Has a crime been commited ?

yep, agree with liencam.

The police make it as easy as possible. Just tell them how it was and make sure you stress the 'what ifs' that you mentioned.

Make sure they know how much it worried you.

As far as the idiot next door, could you not just put a pole up at your side so that you have to enter the forecourt a little more carefully and then only you have to get out and put the pole down. That way, he doesn't have to get out to do it, but idiots like yesterday can't just speed onto the forecourt.

Hope you get it sussed.

Nick, I don't know if they'd call it a crime but I don't think anybody has any right to trespass on other people's property let alone make them feel intimidated on their own property.

I think police should be involved with things like this. You seem very cool about it, let's hope you never need the police on your side when no 'real crime' has been committed.

A woman felt threatened by an abusive coward. No crime has been committed technically..

If I was there at that moment in time, I would have bitchslapped the guy up and down the street for you.

I will not ever tolerate a man threatening a woman in any way shape or form- such gentlemen need a good hiding, even more so if your toddler was with you.

Please report this ass to the police, he sounds like he is all mouth and will do none of the things he said.

Well let see driving without due care and attention, trespass, afray... anyway nick has a thing about getting at me.. so a comment like that's to be expected from him... still waiting for the police

police statements aren't anything to be worried about. They are there to help you and should you need it, they can send an officer specifically trained to help you.
honestly don't worry, they are nice people!

Like all the others have said HP the statements are ok your not the one in the wrong so just tell them what happen they write it all down you check and sign it and thats it hun

Had to do a few when working in the post office ! :)

I said earlier that threatening behaviour is a crime.

Trespass however isn't prosecutable so the police won't be interested in that.
The driving offences would be impossible to prove without a trained observer (ie a police driver or other similary qualified driver).

Any kind of threatening behaviour such as shouting abuse and violent threats at someone brings a maximum two-year sentence and/or a £5,000 fine.

Whether any behaviour is a criminal offence will always depend on the circumstances of the particular case, so these examples are guidelines only.



It's not a trivial offence.

Infact todays just been awfull I was so stressed out by it all that I walked all the way to the shop for the spare part for my washing machine with my fly undone :blush: .. and then I cut my hand open repairing the machine, and now I am sat like a lemon waiting for the police to come... I tell you my stress levels are through the roof... :rant:

Thanks for that Cyclone.. at the end of the day I cant see the point in taking it any further, as several people have pointed out it could just make things worse.. I just want a record of what has happend down in case the tool in question comes back..
Mind you I am so mad now if he does come back I think he may get more than he bargined for..

Honeyplanet started the argument by having a go at the guy (and saying something that could be interpreted as a threat), if she had just ignored him, or just phoned the police to report him, none of this would have happened.

You should have just reported him to the police, he could have pulled a knife or anything.

It's ok having a go at people but you have to expect that they will have a go back, and you could get hurt or killed.

Look at the people who get stabbed to death because they cut someone up on the road.

Infact if you are the sort of person who would just shrug your shoulders and walk away after somthing like that then shame on you..

Like what, someone NEARLY ran someone over, then parked in 3 parking spaces, no-one got hurt, no one got any abuse until you started it, it's hardly crime of the century.

I would have walked away, yes.

The state of the country is my fault, if only I had kids I would be a better person, I'm so selfish, blah, blah,blah.

No what I am saying is the feeling when your children are playing in what should be a safe enviroment, and someone does somthing that could have killed them. Its very very hard to just walk away.. ask any parent..

Guys come on.

It's reaaallly not that important, is it?

parked across 3 private parking spaces and then refused to move.

I think if I caught someone parking on my drive and then refusing to move I would remove them (perfectly legal as they are trespassing) and then I would lock my gates and refuse them access to my property.
Or if they left immediately I would get a tow rope and remove their car, also perfectly legally.

After what has happened I resent anyone trying to paint Honeyplanet as the one in the wrong here. She should have our support, not bickering.

........ but still illegal!

Maybe its time to let it go and get over it..it was yesterday after all and whatever wrong you think this person did, you chose to confront him and threaten his car in a roundabout sort of way so you should expect to be confronted back.

No I did not threatenn his car I made him aware as the land owner that if he parked there again It would be entirley at his own risk. theres a big difference.. there are frequently children playing cricket football ect on the front... last thing I want is someone claiming to have damage from a ball whilst parked on my property..

Shouldn't there be a sign saying that then??...what do you care about his car??
Personally if someone has supposedly nearly ran my kids over then something as trivial as a car parking space would be the last issue I would want to raise.

I am not the one raising it.. it was the manner of which he was acting and driving that I am making the fuss about.. o.p are ranting about the spaces.. the fact that he parked at the angle he did shows the manner he was entering my property..

But you raised it with him at the time??....who's o.p??..was o.p there as well??...
As for parking at an angle..you wanna see my missus parking at slow speed..all sorts of angles going on there

Other Posters.. I was simply giving an accurate discription of what happend.. I asked him to move his car as I was unhappy with the way he was driving .. there were three children playing there both myself and my father politley asked him to move and he walked down the road after sticking up two fingers.. I feel the way he parked bears relevance to the manner of his driving... very fast and very careless.. he couldnt see past the wall.. and thats taller than my youngest.. the altercation took place after he returned to collect his car..

so you'll be okay with it if forum users start parking on your driveway? You won't be coming out to confront them and ask them to get the hell off your property?
I'm sorry but people who behave like that need confronting, otherwise they just continue through life trampling over other peoples rights.

For one I understand it wasn't a driveway..it was a shared set of car parking spaces and probably owned by the letting company/management company in which case it is their responsibility to have adequate and clear signs informing people of the fact that it is private parking.
Secondly the car parking is trivial..the fact that someone may/may not have nearly ran over my children would've been more important to me.
If someone does park on MY drive then I would come out and confront them but then I wouldn't have a sniffle attack if they decided to argue back...as I have said...if you are going to confront then be prepared to accept the consequences and not start blubbing because the big bad man said some very naughty words.

Your a man aren't you Wibbles? Well, no matter what other people say - men and women are different, a woman is more likely to feel intimidated, threatened, upset etc if agressively verbally abused and threatened. Maybe being verbally threatened is not so much of an issue for you, and good on you for being so thick skinned, I wish I was more like that sometimes.

The point is, Honeyplanet felt threatened and frightened, and came on here to share her feelings. It doesn't really matter about the minutiae of the events, more important is being able to express her feelings and let off steam.

We get people who are forever using our driveway as a turning space, I don't say anything because if I got up everytime they did it i'd be up and down like a yoyo, but if someone had speeded around the corner nearly knocking my father over and then parked hap-hazzardly across or on my driveway you can guarantee i'd have said something. Had he not moved, well, i'm not the greatest aim when throwing things for my dog to fetch and if something happened to have hit his car, well woops, accidents happen...

It's a shame that HoneyPlanet didn't get any sort of reasonable response or apology from the driver when he was asked reasonably. Nasty, aggresive people like that should be sent on compulsory anger management courses then maybe the world would be a little safer place for us all.

Just to clarify... we own our property.. as do the homes at eitherside.. the upkeep of the forcourt is a shared responsability between the three of us no letting agents/managment its not a huge open forcourt it has a small drive sized opening between the walls.... and just to clarfy further I did not have a sniffle attack I stood up to a very nasty overbaring man, stood my ground although was a little shaken.. and yes he parked over three spaces but as I said before many times.. it was the speed and nature of the way he parked.. with my children and father being on the forecourt that I was annoyed by.... anyway thats all i have to say on the subject.. if you dont like the fact that I wished to share my feelings at the time with the people on here I consider to be my friends then find another thread to read ...

reserved parking spaces/driveway, what's the difference? It's a space that is privately owned and designated for someone to park their car on.

So now it's not the confrontation itself that's the problem, it's getting upset when you ask someone to get off your driveway and they abuse you that you don't like.
Abuse is not the default for communication in this country and it's not what you should expect when making a reasonable request of someone, maybe you're a big strong man and it wouldn't upset you, but that doesn't mean everyone is the same.

do really think if there were a sign up, people would take it as law?????
guess again.
the type of man honey is talkin about does not sound the type to look up and think, oh theres a sign there, better not park there!
would it not be clear enough pulling in to a car park that belonged to three homes, where one resident is on her land with father and kids????
and askin him to leave his car there at own risk means he has a right to tell her he can have her done over????
WTF

Well to split hairs, private parking spaces aren't necessarily owned car parking spaces..I know..I used to live in a complex with car parking that was private but I didn't own the car parking space.
Anyway its by the by now.

by the by, except if hp chooses to press it the guy could be facing 2 years in jail and a 5k fine.....

For what it's worth I think you were right to do what you did honeyplanet

Honeyplanet - I posted this message below about a power salesman and a friend of mine earlier this year.....it sounds very similar doesn't it? The whole message is a lot longer than the bit in speechmarks but basically he went on threatening her, even reading out her address to the "person" he was speaking to on the phone (the fact that he hadn't had time to dial the number and have it connect before he started shouting into it was a bit of a giveaway!!!) I have no idea where the guy in question lived though. And I think wibble should just sod off out of it - you're entitled to speak up if someone is on your property, it takes a lot of bravery, especially if you're a woman. I've done it myself but been left shaking afterwards having been threatened by people who had no right to be doing what they're doing. They're just bullies and see women as a soft target.

"Started the hard sell & she told him it was a bad time as she was busy - she couldn't even get the kid out of the car as he was standing by the door. Started getting aggressive so she asked him politely to get off her drive. He started to go but told her she should be careful who she was talking to as he worked for 'the government'. At this point she laughed, he went ballistic and got his mobile phone out, saying he was ringing someone to come and sort her out. "

I honestly don't know what he looked like other than my friend said he was sort of smarmy looking youn guy in a suit. His name was Jamie and a fortnight after she reported him to they said they'd disciplined and re-trained him and that he'd wanted to come round and apologise in person!!! Yeah right, that would be a really good idea. My friend said not until she'd got herself a baseball bat! This happened in S10.
