I would like to respond to the lady who said that her son's car was towed away and that it was only his bumper over the driveway.

My mum pays the council to paint lines on the road outside her driveway.

Last year, on a day when I was due to go to work at Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital, two cars had been parked outside our driveway with their bumpers just over the line.

It was impossible for my mum to reverse out, so I had to get a taxi and ended up missing my coach to London.

We would not have minded if the drivers had knocked on our door and had asked if it was okay to park there. It is annoying when they cannot be bothered to find a big enough parking place.
