If you install a dropped-curb, under the pretence of turning your clearly under-sized front garden into a driveway, just so that you can reserve an on-street parking space outside your house, you should have to pay an extra £1000 a year in council tax.
@anon_opin Where I live, it is equally illegal to block your own driveway as it is anyone else’s. Your own car has an equally good chance of getting ticketed as anyone else’s, and “but it’s my own driveway” is NOT a valid defence.
