Is it your own street as well?

with all due respect towards the OP's wife, are we assuming that she is unable to back out of her driveway without turning the wheel?

Also, if she drives a long SUV (I am guessing a Suburban), why can't she crank the wheel and take it down the curb a bit?

I suggest that if she is not able to get out of her own drive way, perhaps a smaller car is called for.

What happens if the neighbors car is on either side of his driveway parked "legally"? Does she back straight up into the front of the neighbors driveway and then turn the wheel to proceed down the street?

I will assume for the sake of arguement that parking is aloud on only one side of this narrow street. Why can't she angle out sooner and proceed?

I'm not understanding this. Why would they park in front of their own driveway, thus blocking their second car in? It doesn't make sense from their standpoint, considering as you say they could park up or down the street less than 50yds away tops. Is there something else going on here that would make them want to park the car at that particular spot, like say a sloped driveway and they play basketball a lot or something?

Edit- if, based on your diagram, their house is directly up against the side of the road then never mind...

Not nitty, people shouldn't park in non-legal spots.

either talk to him using the woman driver angle, or just explain your situation to the cops (i.e. don't say hey can u ticket this car kthx, say well theres this illegal car blocking my driveway and i already hit it once, etc)

[Kneel B4 Zod]

You should talk to them. if it was me, I would probably just get silently angry at them, allow the frustration to build for years and years, until one day I got so drunk and angry that I hucked a whisky bottle through their windshield, a la Homer.

[By-Tor]

so again, are we assuming she is not capible of turning her wheel? or do you all just feel you are entitled to pull out of your driveway in any fashion you please?

lol, nits.
