Consider handing in your driving licence?

Consider reversing in to your driveway in future?

The best way to avoid damaging your car is to not drive into the concrete post.

Paint it white
Stick a big flashing light on it
Big arrow pointing to it
Big red circle like they do in the newspaper circling something really obvious.
Switch your parking sensors on
Get the Mss to watch you out.
Park on the road.

how about a few of these hung around the car

It's a 4ft high post on the corner of the boundary, should be simple enough to see it and avoid it.

If you hit it nothing you add as 'protection' is going to make any real difference except maybe reducing the scratches a bit.

Slow your speed down a bit and find one of these guys in yellow pages.

I've studied the picture carefully, and sadly there is nothing you can do to stop hitting the post.

Hi Folks

My neighbour has some concrete posts on his front garden.

Can someone kindly advice how I can protect my car when reversing out from my drive?

Thank You

Can we have a full pic of the driveway entrance please with a wheelie bin for scale?

Thanks.

Ask your neighbour if you can put something reflective on the post your side so it is easier to see so you are less likely to knock his fence over.

You need to ask first as it is his property.

Alternatively stick a wooden fence post on your side so you wouldn't be hitting a concrete post

Tape bubble wrap to the side of your car.

You could try using your cars windows.

I would advise that not hitting it is the way ahead.

Glad that you quoted it.

OP - you could perhaps place a free standing bollard like this next to the concrete post, which would be less of an issue if you clipped it..
