Dave Hughes has raged online after an 'inconsiderate' driver left their car parked in the middle of a Melbourne street during Monday's public holiday. 

In a video shared on Instagram, the comedian detailed being trapped due to the vehicle standing idle in the road with no driver in sight.

'This is a dead-end street and that's all very well. That's not good... we wanna go home,' the 55-year-old complained. 

Dave questioned: 'How long do I wait before we call the cops?'

'You can't just leave your car in the middle of the road, even on a public holiday,' he wrote in his caption. 

The television star added: 'It's been at least 20 minutes already.'

Dave's fans encouraged him to call the police, with one person commenting: 'I'd call the police and they should teach them a lesson.'

Another said: 'So inconsiderate - we always have people park across our back gate driveway, have called police and they can't do anything.'

Others called the act 'un-Australian' and questioned how the driver got their license. 

It comes after Dave revealed his surprisingly simple secret to keeping the spark alive in his two-decade marriage to wife Holly Ife.

The Australian comedian told Daily Mail he has managed to keep their romance as strong as ever by never taking things for granted.

'Be present, that is the main thing, and to have gratitude,' Hughes said.

'If you live in the present, then every day is like your first day... you are not bored that you have been together for 23 years! You are just happy that you are together today.'

He added that another key to their enduring relationship was letting go of the little things to ensure that minor disagreements never spiralled into lasting resentment.

'It's about not holding grudges, not having a scorecard of resentment that you hold onto,' he said.

'I'm all about never holding grudges, whether it is with a mortal enemy... or my wife.'

He added that he was thrilled his wife accepted him for who he was, before commenting on his distinctive smile which he is hesitant to fix.

'I'd never say never to fixing [my teeth],' he said. 

'The jury appears to be out on it, some people say to fix them, others say they love them, so I'm not sure what the best thing to do is.

'There's something full-on about getting full veneers... I'm not saying I won't do it, but it hasn't happened yet.' 

Dave has a new comedy show out called Cooked, which he will be performing at the upcoming Melbourne and Sydney Comedy Festivals. 

The funnyman has said that no topic is off-limits – and tickets are available to purchase online.
