If that is the reason, then the question comes up about how you define
the extent of a "vehicle entrance" to measure the 1 meter.

It could be straight lines drawn extending the
driveway borders. Or it could be from the cut in the curb, since a vehicle
may actually use that space when it turns into the driveway. Photo 10
appears to show the vehicle actually overlapping the edge of the cut.

Here's something from the 1976 NZ legislation (revoked, apparently, but
probably whatever replaced it is similar):

"...for the purposes of this paragraph a vehicle parked alongside any part
of a kerb crossing provided for a vehicle entrance or exit or within 1
metre of the prolongation of the side of a vehicle entrance or exit shall
be deemed to be obstructing entry or exit."

Gotta love that word "deemed".  It's also illegal to obstruct even your
own entrance in NZ, even if you are in the car.
