Illegal Parking?

Is parking on someone else's driveway illegal? There are brainless individuals who park on our driveway when we are away even if we already put a no parking sign on our gate. Can I take photos of their car plates and report them to the traffic police? Thanks.

yup that's a violation; but just make a call I suggest, since I'm not sure how Metrash works or if it even works at all.. they take down the number and your details on the phone and immediately update their records with the violation.

@chameleon - there are some educated camels around blocking or occupying the parking allotted to someone. so you have to behave uncivilized.

@newexpatqatar - I would like to do that but I am an educated civilized person and would not want to be liable for damages haha

Thank you mohdata. So that's a parking violation right? I plan to send a report through Metrash 2 :)

i did that by mistake once to my neighbour; he called the cops; i got a violation; later apologised to my neighbour and we're now friends. :-) So you too can call the cops, give them the numbers and they'll handle it.

You can complain about the cars parked in your driveway but you will be held liable to any damages that you have incurred to the cars. They have the right to their own property too.

Simply damage their vehicles..they will never park again there.

Or just deflate a tyre
