so you would knowingly run over someone who is in your way? stationary people are not that large. it would be easy to navigate around them.

I’ve always believed that cities that allow this degenerate behavior should be personally and governmentally held accountable.

We heard about old ladies in an ambulance getting stuck because some pinko dbag decided to plant his fat a$$ on the highway. Well, if that person died as a result and the cops were told to stand down - why aren’t they at fault? You denied me life saving care.

How do you go around this, dumbass.

Walk uphill and take a piss

Once had a client that was owner/operator of coal mines. It was the kind of coal used to make carbon in steel, not even coal for fuel, and they were semi-regularly targeted for protests.

Story is that one guy once chained/handcuffed himself to the flagpole out front. All was well until a thunderstorm blew in.

Locked up for a couple of weeks.
It will take the sass out of 95% of them.

Superglue is not all that effective on concrete. Especially hot concrete. These fools typically superglue themselves to walls. It's really not terribly effective. Now, loctite.....that's a little different.

Australia’s Laws on Blocking Roads and Driveways
In Australia, blocking roads or driveways is illegal under both state/territory road rules and local council regulations. The model Australian Road Rules form the basis for most traffic laws, but each state and territory adapts them to local needs National Transport Commission.

Key Road Rules
Road Rule 198 (NSW example): It is illegal to stop on or across a footpath, driveway, or nature strip unless you are dropping off or picking up passengers, and you must leave the vehicle and not stop for more than two minutes Stacks Law Firm. Even if parked in front of your own garage, blocking a footpath or driveway is prohibited.

Road Rule 197: You cannot stop on a bicycle path, footpath, or nature strip unless a sign allows it Stacks Law Firm.

Regulation 170: Prohibits parking across a neighbour’s driveway or blocking sightlines at intersections www.turntables.com.au.
Penalties
NSW fines for blocking a footpath can be $283 (partial block) or $362 (full block) in school zones, with a maximum fine of $2,200 (20 penalty units) Stacks Law Firm.

Victoria has seen protests that block major roads, but penalties vary by state — NSW can impose up to two years’ imprisonment and a $22,000 fine for serious road blockages Rule of Law Institute of Australia.

Local councils can fine and tow vehicles that block driveways. In some cases, towing may not be possible due to vehicle size or narrow streets Inner West Council.
Enforcement
Local councils (e.g., NSW Roads and Maritime Services, ACT Government, NT Government) enforce these rules and can issue fines, tow vehicles, or impound them National Transport Commission+1.
