“I’ve loved having Drivewayspikes in the driveway. We leave them in place and feel safer with the kids. We can leave toys out in the driveway and not have to worry about them being run over by strangers. No one dares to try and pull into our driveway anymore,” comments one user in Miami. “We have even recommended these to our neighbors and our whole street is able to deter this kind of activity.”

I live on a dead end street and I have a similar problem. Neighbors all own 14 cars, so their garages are full, their driveways are full, the side of the street is full of overflow parked cars. I am a female. I live alone. I own one car and I park in the garage so my driveway is always empty. I shovel my own driveway when it snows. I have asked neighbors repeatedly not to turn around in my driveway, but it hasn t helped. They turn around and pack the snow before I have a chance to remove it, making my shoveling job even harder. I like idea of steel posts and chain/cable with sign stretched across the driveway. I just don t understand why this has to be so hard. I ask nicely and nobody listens or respects my requests. So now I have to be the bad guy of the neighborhood? And I have to be the one who gets out in the rain to put the chain back up when I back out? It s simply not fair! Humans are so selfish, rotten, and inconsiderate. I have never once turned around in anybody else s driveway. The street is wide enough for turning.

So this is a bit peevy. I know. But I have a constant problem of people turning around in my driveway. I am the first driveway on a back road off a heavily traveled state road, so my driveway is a natural place for people to turn around. I guess I wouldn't really mind it except its not an easy driveway because it is a deceptive angle and has rock walls on both sides. This morning a SUV with boat trailer decided to make the turn around in my driveway and there was no way he was going to back a trailer out without going onto the lawn (his fatal error was pulling in, rather than backing in). The guy tore up the lawn and I had to help him unhitch and move his boat trailer off my lawn. He apologized and I could tell he felt bad, it was a mistake, but my driveway is not a public road. This is not the first time and it wont be the last.

Old man uses nails in a board to keep cars out.if I stepped on a strip of nails sticking out of someone's driveway, I would raise hell with the person who did so. If I'm able to hold someone liable for not clearing their sidewalk/driveway/steps in front of their house in winter and slip and fall, I would think (think!) the same would hold true with sharp pointy things.

Reclaim Your Driveway  Protect Your Family

No. It's my driveway, damn it.
The other day, I was poised to pull westward out of my driveway, the way I always go to start my journey to visit my sister who lives about forty miles away. I was checking traffic before I even attempted to pull into the road when someone started pulling into the lot part of my driveway, looking to make a u-turn and go back eastbound down the street. Where they ended up going was right in the way of me seeing oncoming traffic, so we ended up reaching an impasse.
Apparently, me trying to get out of my driveway was taking too long for this person, so they honked at me. It's annoying enough when people honk at you in the streets for something you can't help, let alone on your own property. As I was still technically safely within my own driveway and not yet pulled into the road, I simply parked my car on the spot, turned it off, and got out. The other person looked like they were about to get out of their car to confront me, but all I did was walk through my driveway lot, through my lawn, up to my front door, and into my house. You know, leaving my car right in their way.
Bitch had to back

up into the road and make a U-turn down the street.
Don't honk at me in my own driveway, damn it.
