Dear [name]

Just a quick note regarding where your [car/van/motorbike] is parked. You might not have noticed, but your vehicle is quite often parked in front of [my/our] driveway meaning that we are unable to get in/out of our driveway.

Please could you park slightly further up the street so that [I/we] can use [my/our] driveway? Thanks for your help.

Best wishes,
