We live on a street where every house has a driveway (typically 2 cars). Ours fits 4 cars, but we only have 2.

The road is just residential and narrow (around 5m).

When we moved in, the neighbours opposite had space for 2 cars but chose to park 1 on the road. They without us asking, said they’d park to the side so we could access our drive—but over time, they reduced and then fully removed their driveway, turning it into a garden. They now park directly opposite our drive with a large car, which makes it difficult for us to get in and out. Even with just 2 cars, we often have to manoeuvre repeatedly or move cars around to park.

They now have an additional car, meaning they have 3 cars so have just made things worse.

Would I be an asshole to ask them not to park opposite our drive so we can access it more easily?

Edit: I should add that if they don't park there then one car would have to park on a different street since the road is so short...
