One of my annoyances is the parking of cars at the roadside in residential areas. In particular are those people who have driveways and garages and fail to use them.

These people park outside of other homes so that visitors to those homes cannot park where they can easily gain access to the premises that they are visiting. It is more annoying when the drivers using street parking do live in that road.

It would appear that some car owners are unaware of a little known fact. If you insure a vehicle and you answer the question as to where the vehicle is parked at night or not in use with the comment "In the garage" or "On a driveway to the property" to avail yourself of a lower premium and you leave the vehicle on the road you may not be covered by insurance should the vehicle be damaged or stolen.

This is because you have incorrectly answered a question.
