    The only way to have a car but no drive is to be incredibly zen and calm about it and to accept that you sometimes have to walk a bit further to get to and from your car. Think of it as good exercise!

    I don't mind this. It's not actually bothering me, but I want to resolve it as best I can because it obviously bothers her.
    I can't park anywhere else really. No my landlord doesn't want a driveway and I can't afford to move and I wouldn't anyway.

    It absolutely DOES bother you.

    BTW there's an unwritten rule that everyone that I answer to in forum posts pays me £10..... how will you be paying???

    If it doesn’t bother you, why not just accept that anyone can park on the road , and if you have to park and walk so be it

    Why do people buy houses with no off street parking?

    The parking dispute isn't really the problem. I'll park there if I have to but I wanted advice about how to not annoy the neighbour by doing it.
    So I will park on the road, it will and apparently does !!!! her off. I don't want to cause parking wars so how do I approach it so she accepts that it's alright and she should learn to drive properly so she can get out of her driveway. What bothers me is annoying the neighbour not having nowhere to park.

    Because they are typically cheaper than those with an off-street parking space.
