Turning around in someone else's driveway

[Angray]

I have the same problem as you, cars, vans even neighbours turning around on my dive, it drives me mad!
I have 2 cats that like to lie sleeping in the sun so I bought a hazard cone to make people aware.
Can't believe my neighbours Grandson has just reversed over it so obviously he didn't look, luckily it was the cone and not the cat but what else can I do 🤷‍♀️

Why not donate part of your driveway to the council so they can adopt it? Then you won't need to worry about people using that part. Include an endowment fund if they are worried about upkeep costs.

Retractable bollard/s?

Depends what you count as drive, I have never actually driven on to someone's drive to turn around i have however driven on the dropped curb pavement part and then reversed back.

Would you be annoyed if someone used your drive to pull in, reverse out and go back the other way? Ever been guilty of doing it yourself?

[Muppet007]

Yes, if you class a pavement as a drive entrance.

Would depend on the driveway. Its a bit cheeky. If its a 1 car length from the house type driveway but if its before a gate or quite a distance from the house then no problem. Just dont be an idiot an drive over plants etc.

I'm very impressed that the mods merged my thread into this one. Someone on the mod team has the memory of an elephant

I used to live in a new(ish) build house. There was no pavement and my lawn used to go right up to the kerb.

The family over the road used to have lots of visitiors (he was 'something' in a local religious group that souns something like 'more mens') who used to park on the road and used to get out of their cars an mill about all over my front lawn. That used to wind me up.

I ended up getting my sprinkler out on occasion. The one attached to a hose pipe of the plastic variety BTW.

Reverse onto the drive, apply handbrake and drive back out?

I must admit that this would piss me off. Turn around using the driveway, fair enough. Leaving marks like that is unnecessary/bloody rude...

We live in a crescent where people use our driveway to turn around, I guess they must be lazy to drive for a few more seconds back to the road and we've had vehicles hit, other damage has happened but since the LED headlight you get damn well blinded by them while sat in the house as they shine through the window.
