Luckily I'm away at the moment. Unfortunately being nice wouldn't work and when I go home I will park on my drive. She has her own drive but is such a poor driver that she can't reverse into it. So Mount's the pavement outside my house. I only have a front garden so have to look at her BMW all day. I have decided that if I speak to her that it will all escalate. Anyone who parks on your drive like that when they know its yours is not someone who can be reasoned with. I will not speak to her and she will think she has won but the broader picture is just to pretend she isn't there. I'd put a photo of the car but the number plate is visible so I won't. It was parked diagonally almost hitting my fence and on the footway.
I think you're right - she appears from what you say - dropping her fag ends around your property - like an ignorant blockhead... and playing "nice" just won't cut it because she probably doesn't have the intellect to either appreciate nor understand the gesture.
From what you say, she's parking on your drive-way because she can't manage anything else. I know reversing into your own drive can be difficult, but that shouldn't be your problem. And, as others have pointed out, parking on the pavement might be illegal where you are.
I think you will have to just out-smart her.
