Well-known private chef Matt Vella has launched a new QR code service that allows people to contact vehicle owners about issues with their parked cars without needing their phone numbers.

The service, called Vive, works through a QR code that drivers can display on their windscreen. 

Anyone who needs to contact the owner can scan the code, enter their phone number and select the reason for getting in touch. The driver’s phone number isn’t shared but they will immediately receive a phone call from Vive requesting them to move their vehicle.

Vive is meant to facilitate several everyday situations, such as when a parked vehicle is blocking another car or garage, has been involved in an accident, has its lights left on or needs to be moved to make way for works.

Mr Vella hopes that this app will help resolve these situations without having to rope in the authorities or a towing service. 

The service costs an initial €4.50, before going up to €5 a a year.
