All well and good until some kid ends up in the wrong place at the wrong time.one of those 'fast, no real need to look' reverses.
Many people seem to feel they have some sense of ownership over the roads outside their homes, when of course they don't, and the general public are free to park in such areas so long as they are not blocking access to driveways or other entrances.
No look reverses are generally to be avoided, and I'd always advocate reversing into a driveway or parking space whenever practical. Other vehicles parking when you're gone can add challenges to reversing out, and if you hit something or someone while reversing, you will generally be considered 100% at fault.
If the owner of the home doesn't want others parking outside her property, she can apply to the council to have double yellow lines painted on the roadside, or have disc-parking introduced in the area. The latter at least will require the agreement of the majority along that section of road to have any chance. Shouting out the window or otherwise engaging anyone parking in a public place might see her getting a visit from the Gardai.

Where I live in Blackrock there were a number of cars parking legally at the end of our road. The owners were leaving them there for the day and walking in to Blackrock to work or get the DART. The people who lived on the opposite side of the road were having difficulty reversing their Chelsea Tractors out of their driveways.The car is actually opposite their house and a car length down from their driveway
It was a great section of road that we all used when we had visitors or tradesmen calling. Now it's gone because of the selfish few.

They contacted DunLaoghaire Rathdown and had double yellow lines put in place on a perfectly good road to stop these people from parking. These people can now reverse out of their driveways without having to use their rear view mirrors.
