You can pick the kid up and move him. Choosing a kid in this senario is cheating because kids are dumb and don't understand consequences.

If my doctor was laying on my driveway I'd drag him off and then leave. And it's morally and legally right to do so.

Nope.

You have a "contract of lying on the driveway" with him, you've granted him permission to lie on the driveway for the next 1.5 hours, and your contract doesn't list you changing your mind as a reason for rescinding that prior permission, nor has he breached the contract in a way that permits you to remove him.

You're welcome to point out where in the contract of carriage you're basing your opinion. I'm finding no justification.
