You aren't allowed to move your neighbor's car if they're parked in front of your house. You're not allowed to move your neighbor's golf cart if they're parked in front of your house. You can't move someone's bicycle parked in front of your house. Or someone's lawnmower.

If these vehicles are ON your property, then the laws probably differ. But these vehicles are not on your property, and they don't belong to you.

You can't touch them, legally, without their permission. Whether they're supposed to be there or not.
Since it is a law one cannot block another’s driveway, how about a picture/video would be sufficient evidence to issue a $500. fine to the offenders. Then everything would be “legal” and no more illegal parking.
