If you're parking in their property e.g.: Their own driveway, garage, or a designated area which is part of their property, then yes most likely it's trespassing when you park there. However, if you park at a street which is a public street, then the only restrictions that apply are those of the local government (the state, city, town .. etc). Someone doesn't have any legal support to ask someone to not park at a public parking because it's in front of there house. Out of courtesy, however, most people don't do it. But, again, it's totally legal and as long as it's public parking (street) you can park wherever you want following the rules of parking set by the government.

Absolutely legal. Unless the car parked on the street is blocking another car from getting out, leaving or blocking your driveway. It's all public property in the US.

Or unless it is a private street, which, I am assuming it is not.

Across the street in front of a driveway, no problems. However, parking across a driveway is illegal and is an Australian road rules offence. This is not subject to local or state road rules, it is an Australian regulation. However, if you live in the Manly council area the council rangers do not police this road rule.

Unless they are parked on your private property - the street is a PUBLIC thoroughfare, maintained by everyone's tax dollars. Unless your municipality has some kind of time restriction on how long one may park in a location, as annoying as (admittedly) it may be, ANYONE can park there. We are ALL taxpayers.

Can you park your car on your driveway with no insurance?

You can park your vehicle on your property with no insurance. HOWEVER, in some cities you must have a current license plate on your vehicle for it to be parked in the driveway and to have a current plate, you are required to have insurance. The issue here is the driveway and what can be seen from the street. Unlicensed vehicles in a driveway could be viewed as a "junkyard", "car lot" etc

How close to a driveway can you park?

If you are talking about a driveway other than your own, you can park as close to it as you want as long as you are not blocking it and if the law permits (although I highly doubt that would be illegal, you know how some are). For a piece of advice and courtesy though, allow at least a 4 inch space between your car and their driveway.
