    I think it is because if a garage get a stovec and no one claims it, they dont(sic) get paid, not only that, they have to pay AADL too.

    If there's a car on your drive when you get home, and you can't get onto the drive yourself, there's no obstruction as such. However, it would be worth a phone call to the police (non emergency number) as you never know, the car might be an outstanding stovec , in which case we will come, and it will be removed.
