    I also have a downslope driveway that ices up in the winter, and have had someone hit my car and take off doing it, so yeah I’d rather they didn’t. I also respect people’s private property.

      Things might be different in the US, but here in NZ the first meter or two off the road is usually road reserve, which is council property. That’s where footpaths/sidewalks, street trees, and utilities are run.

      The bit of your driveway that is actually yours doesn’t start until about where your front fence is, if you have one.

      That’s about the most asinine way you possibly could have ended that sentence. You almost had my sympathy for why you feel the way you do until said that.

        I respect people. If a person I respect has property, by the transitive property, the property gets a sort of respect.
