I knew it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Right off to find a scale.On a more serious note, I'll ask him to park it more considerately. There are places he could park it that aren't outside people's houses.
The 7.5 T rule is that Highway Code or something else...?
GoatandTricycle-
section 19 of the road traffic act, apparently:
19 Prohibition of parking of HGVs on verges, central reservations and footways.
(1)Subject to subsection (2) below, a person who parks a heavy commercial vehicle
(as defined in section 20 of this Act) wholly or partly—
(a)on the verge of a road, or
(b)on any land situated between two carriageways and which is not a footway, or
(c)on a footway,
is guilty of an offence.

You can't park commercial vehicles of 7.5 tonnes and over on the street overnight. Below that (transits etc), it's all fair game.
