    maybe that’s not grass, it might be a huge hole covered in green tarpaulin and grass cuttings so if you drive on it you’ll fall in. Like those traps they build in the A Team. 😀

    It’s so the local dogs have something to piss on.

    Hats off to the bollard salesman who flogged ’em that one though!

    It’s probably a good deterrent – I should think the punishment for driving on the grass is much more than nicking cars these days.

    my guess thats a school on the left… school run, thin road, turning cars etc.

    George, I know a guy that had a set of gates fitted to his drive because he was fed up with people using it to turn their cars round, he didn’t want a set of gates but thought it would be the only way to stop people doing this. Looks like this person may have done a similar thing, like Dave said its a school opposite and a narrow road.

    Most likely reason but it amuses me that their so anal they don’t want people turning in their drive, is it going to wear out the tarmac?
    It’s not like they live up a secluded drive and don’t want people disturbing them or being nosy.

    I reckon it’s to stop his kids borrowing the car when he’s away :lol1:

    Either that or some distorted form of body dis-morphia (you know like when a skinny person looks in the mirror and see’s a fat person). He thinks there’s a long driveway up to his "mansion house" and wants to keep the plebs out 😕

    Stephen, it’s not always because they just don’t want people turning in their driveway, OK it did annoy the guy I know but the main reason he didn’t want people doing it was because he had spent a lot of money on a driveway and cars that were using his drive to turn round were dripping oil on it.

    I think Phills explanation is the best, mind you if it were my kids they wouldn’t bother that the bollard was there. They would just drive straight across the grass.

    Actually although Commando’s may spend time living rough when on a mission they are very good at keeping their kit ironed when in barracks.

    Maybe he’s a bollard sales man and wants to advertise.

    Marcella, your wish is his Commando 🙂
