A WOMAN has claimed that her neighbour confronted her angrily for parking on her driveway in an emergency - even though there is enough space for three motors.
The mum of one claimed she didn't even have the opportunity to ask permission first.

She claimed that she had been forced to move her car in the early hours of the morning after the local council suspended parking on her road from 6am.
Only realising at the last minute, the woman allegedly rushed out to move her car, fearing a potential fine - or even having the car towed.
Writing on Mumsnet, the driver said she had lost track of time and had forgotten to move her car before the restrictions came in.
This apparently forced her to drive around in search of a bay- despite her young child being home alone as her husband had gone to work.
She said: "A woman on our street has a large driveway that can fit three cars. She only has one car.
"In desperation I parked my car in her drive, I had to get back home as I had left my child alone. I left a note on my car apologising and explaining I would move it once I had dropped [my] child to school."
She went onto explain that after the school run she bumped into the neighbour and apologised.

The woman added: "I apologised and she said 'why didn’t you ask me?' I explained I didn't knock on her door as it was so early and she said she gets up at 5am to pray so she was awake.

"She made a noise that didn't sound like a yes or no and walked off with the dog. I just stood awkwardly not sure what to do.
"I've left the car there as the nearest place I can now park is about a mile away, every possible space is taken."
The woman said she was considering returning that evening with a gift for the neighbour as an olive branch.
Many users said she should get her a gift and apologise again for the inconvenience.
One person said: "Get her a gift and an apologetic note."
While another added: "Get her some flowers as a peace offering and move your car.
"You being disorganised over the road closure shouldn't be causing her a problem."
It comes after one motorist slammed his neighbour after secret footage revealed a parking debacle on their street.
