How do you do it?

**Mom** · 30th March 2011, 17:50

Ok, so I am grumpy, I have to wait till Saturday for my bike, but man I am sick of people reversing into our driveway/over our grass (our driveway is on an angle to the road) while they execute a 3 point turn.

How do you do a 3 point turn? Me, I do it with forward motion to start the manoeuvre. I am alone? Why do people stop in the roadway, reverse into a driveway, and then complete the turn? At the moment I am blaming it on the bible study (see I did not call them botherers of God) people accross the road. Maybe they know something I dont?

3 more sleeps

Dont EVER break midway through a corner OK!

I've put reasonable sized bits of rock on the edges of my drive. Anyone that uses it to reverse into needs to be spot on with not hitting the grass. Both of them have got gouges and paint on them now.

I like this guys idea

You're evidently ever so slightly impatient waiting for your bike. Instead, you can watch cars rip themselves up on your rocks

Rocks!

Who has some HUGE FUCKERS?

I could paint them white so they have NO excuse for hitting them, I dont want to be liable for damage to their poxy 4 wheeled vehicles.

EDIT - We would have to keep the grass down around them though. That equals less time for riding, more time for grass killing

+1 on the rocks idea - as long as they are actually on your property.

However, if this is a grass verge outside of your property boundary, you may run into local council problems, and possibly end up hurting an innocent pedestrian on a dark night.

*sigh* Perhaps I can just "hurl" rocks at them from the house? I am an appalling chucker of things

Probably only make me feel better, or possibly even throw my shoulder out

I'm at the end of a cul de sac with no turning circle, the road just ends.

So they mount the kerb, the council rubbish trucks keep fucking the pavement because of their weight. I've had the whole 3.5m wide ashphalt replaced and major repairs 4-5 times now. One time the garbage truck just went right over a 500mm round boulder, pushing it right thru the asphalt and into the ground, it was flush level with the pavement.

The council are a bunch of idiots! We couldnt get a NO EXIT sign from them, so I found a broken off one and nailed it to a lamp post myself.

Dont worry ... the traffic will keep the grass down ...

We've got fucking loads of pointless signs up our way. Come and help yourself. You'll need a 13 mil spanner.

I recently was taught the correct method for doing 180 handbrake turns. I'd practice them if it wasn't for all the bloody traffic everywhere - even carparks are full 24/7 these days

**spookytooth** · 30th March 2011, 20:48

grass is for driving over
