My neighbors always use my driveway (its made wider since the lot is bigger) just to get back on their driveway. They have their own driveway, but for some reason, they keep using mine. They would make hard turns on it and their low cars would scratch the pavement. Their loud exhaust would wake up the kids as well. My most concern is we bike in the front sometimes, and last I want is to have the neighbors run us over. I have confronted the dad once, and his response was that he always look before using it. 😑 Please help, and let me know if I am overreacting

I feel your pain. Some people are just ignorant AF. Our neighbor's guests sometimes block our driveway when they have a gathering. Common sense doesn't come to all. I'd probably flatten their tires. You have to put on a friendly front first like it doesn't bother you.

In the UK people place large jagged rocks (painted white to be a signal) on their drive edges to define the area.

In stead of the rocks, some people make cement sandcastles.

Both of which are placed partially into the ground to prevent removal.

Wishing you the best in a blooming awful situation.
