It will differ from state to state, but some states it is illegal.
If it's your land, then there should be no problem. If your driveway is on rented land, meaning you don't own it, you need to get the permission of the landloard/landowner.
It would be advisable though to carry the barest minimum of insurance, just in case a hail storm damages the vehicle, or a tree branch hits it, or the neighborhood kid rams it with his bike or wagon.
It would depend on the council ordinances, but if the car is off the street and not being driven on the road, and the council doesn't have a lien on your driveway, then it should be legal to do whatever you want inside your own property in relation to unregistered and uninsured, unroadtaxed vehicle
In the UK it can, if the driveway is private property.
Not if you own the driveway. Your property, your land. IN UK you must tell DVLA that the vehicle is off the road by submitting a SORN
The fact that the car was illegally parked doesn't matter. The driver of the moving car was responsible to adjust their driving to the road conditions, and to ensure it was safe to proceed. This accident will be the fault of the uninsured driver.
Yes, provided there is nobody behind your car, and you are not backing up directly into oncoming traffic. As long as you can do it sober and not cause injury or damage to anyone or anything, of course it's legal to back your car out of your driveway in Kentucky or anyplace else on the planet for that matter.
How can i tell if a drive way is legal or not? i live in New York city on a block where there are more than 10 drive ways and some of them look suspcious i parked in front of a drive wayand i was threatned with being my car beeing towed away please help me find witch one is legal (edited by Jennifer sule and i say i think the driveway has to be gated and signs posted that stated that if you park there that your car will be towed. otherwise that is NOT a legal driveway. this is waht a cop rtold me tonight as i live in Brooklyn and just had to fight to have a car moved from in front of what i THOUGHT was my driveway that i rent from my landlord. no gate no signs... NOT a legal driveway. hope that helps)
Yes it is legal to block your own driveway.
They will have to take the uninsured driver to court. Or if you have uninsured driver policy with your insurance, they will pay it.
If I am reading your question correctly you have nothing to worry about. I don't understand why you would be worried about someone coming after you. From your statement your car was legally parked and someone hit it and their insurance should pay.
An Uninsured car has no insurance. Your liability coverage may follow you to it if it is a replacement vehicle but would not cover damage to the uninsured vehicle.
What type of driveway? Was it a curving and could not see the car before rounding the curve? Is it straight; then why did you not see the car blocking the driveway before even getting into car and/or backing..
The car that was in the hidden driveway.
