Nobody has any legitimate reason to ever pull all the way onto someone else's driveway, unless they are having a medical emergency or they are the guest of the homeowner.
If you are neither of those, it is really easy to just not drive onto someone's driveway. You can do.a three point turn in the street without your tires ever going onto a driveway.
And if you happen to be parked in my driveway when I return home, I will park my car to block you on my driveway. You wanted it so bad, you can stay there for the night. Like the Naughty Corner, or a Dunce Cap.
You must live in Texas lmao. Have you been to the north east? Not every street is 4 lanes wide. I absolutely need to pull into a driveway to turn around.
No, California. Plenty wide streets in my neighborhood. Enough for cars to be parked on both sides and you can still do a 3 point turn without going into someones driveway.
Exactly his point - you have space. There are some roads where I live that you are lucky to drive your car down the road with cars parked on both sides. The other thing is, it is unsafe to turn around in the road. Using a drive way is a safer option. Finally, I really don't want to be in your driveway, I'm there for 30 seconds at most if there aren't any cars coming.
Another argument for roundabouts: you can use them to turn around
C'mon now...
Conveniently didn't quote the entire sentence.
It's still ridiculous, unless it's some massively long driveway. As long as they only stop long enough to switch gears and start moving out, there's nothing wrong with it.
I've had two people actually crash into my house when using my driveway to turn round because they got greedy and tried to use the full length.
If they stopped 2-3 meters short that wouldn't have happened.
Some people really can't drive
Okay, if people are fucking morons they shouldn't be turning around in driveways, or driving at all, for that matter.
Fortunately the 150 year old brick house always wins. My neighbour often puts cones in front to stop people doing it and I can't tell you how often people crash into the cone because they didn't see it.
I will never be surprised by people's driving anymore
What's the infringement exactly? To me it's like getting pissy over someone walking up your garden path without knocking on your door.
