I would just have a quiet word with your neighbour and say that, at the very least, it would have been nice if her brother had asked for permission to park on your drive rather than just assuming it would be ok to do so. You could point out that it could have caused problems if you'd needed to get into or out of your drive yourself.

You need to challenge this before it becomes a habit. It’s your drive on your neighbors over flow car park

We live quite close to the centre of a large and busy village and the road outside our house has a single yellow line which permits parking only after 6pm and before 8am.

Last night at 8.45 our ring doorbell informed us that there was someone outside our front door. It was our neighbour's brother who didn't ring the bell but went off back down the drive.

Thinking there must be something wrong, we went out to find noone there but his car parked on our drive. Our neighbour's drive had her car and another on it.

We decided just to message to check everything was OK rather than intrude on what ever was going on.

This morning we got a message from the neighbour saying that everything was OK and her brother had popped round for a chat.

Are we wrong to feel put out and what should we do or say? Our neighbour has been there about 3 years, is very nice but we now feel awkward.
