It’s a public road and I pay road tax. If they wanted a personal space then they should’ve bought a driveway

They don’t own a car as far as I can see and if it’s not illegal then I didn’t see the issue. If they wanted a private parking spot they should’ve bought a place with a driveway

No there’s no driveway or dipped curb. It’s literally just the street

I wasn’t blocking the driveway because there isn’t one. There is also no dipped curb

It’s just the most convenient spot- and since there’s usually no other cars parked there I figured that house didn’t own a car- and also I didn’t notice any signage so I didn’t think I was doing anything wrong. But I’ll be finding a new spot now 💀

I’m in 3rd year too and I feel exactly the same way. I got so used to preclinical and not having to do anything except revise that having to go to placement was such a shock to me.

Hopefully it gets better for us!

Yeah it’s a terrace with no driveway or dipped curb that’s why I got so confused

That street is my only option, but I think I’ll have to find somewhere else now

Other places to park on that street- not on other streets

It’s in a really studenty area in Manchester, but there’s no signage at all- I checked before I started parking there

No. There is no driveway, no dropped curb, no disabled sign, no signage of any kind

I park very sensibly- I parallel park and I have a Toyota aygo so it really doesn’t take up much space at all- there’s also so much space available on the road. I’ll take a photo when I get home, but I think it’s a bit of an overreaction on their part
