Your not going into the driveway of a residence as much as you are a virtually unprotected business. The closest law is probably 20-30 min away. They have machinery, livestock, GAS just to name a few investments and they work on a VERY low profit margin.

I've got alot of relation in farming and the majority of the cars that pull in their places in the middle of the night don't have good intentions. Usually someone looking to get some free gas.....

You wouldn't pull completely into a manufacturing plant to pull a u-turn because they have a gaurd shack protecting it....why do it to a farmer? Isn't it just as easy to do a Y-turn at the end of the driveway?

Have a good one!:jointsmile:

My girlfriend and I got a laugh out of this.

We were driving home and we started laughing at this hose with a long U-Turn driveway. They always have three cars parked at one end, blocking it completely from being used. I understand they don't want a bunch of cars using their driveway to turn around, but it seems like more of an inconvenience now. They would know better than me though...

On a side note, I have seen first hand a man running out of his house with a shot gun because someone did that exact thing. Yeah turning around in someones driveway warrants a wild west shoot out.

It isn't even just cars. People could have acres and be wondering why there is an odd truck on their neighbors property, and wondering if it will make its way onto theirs... That sounds dumb, but my girlfriend heard it with her own ears...

I can't wait till I can live in a city again.

I completly understand.

What if they were growing weed?

I have friends in the boonies who are seriously hardcore about their land....
Private Property is a precious thing..At least around here.

It is hard to keep out people from using your land....you got your crazies who want to camp...you got your people wantin to steal your herb..

..All kinds of stuff.

Basically, if you live in the country...you better be protecting your land.

Only 3 states have laws though that permit deadly force upon someone if they tresspass..It's called the "Make My Day" statute or something...and it's only in like Colorado and Nevada or something...haha.

its not just gas they steal,some mak their meth shacks and then leave the toxic crap behind.

[higher4hockey]

because us country folk are just poor, no shoe wearing, overall loving, , vigilante justice having, no good, toothless slack jawed yokals.


don't knock what you don't understand, i dont understnad how on gods green earth ANYONE in their right mind would choose to live in a city over the country, and im not mean to city folk....well....actually....yes i am...so nevermind, hate us all you want

The closest law is probably 20-30 min away.

That is the truth....20 or 30 minutes away for sure and let's hope HE isn't busy on another call....

And another truth there....there really aren't too many good reasons for someone to be out in your area....much less driving around on your land.

Word... my ex ran his landscaping, equipment repair, and auto body businesses out of our home... we left lights and TV on when we weren't home... anyone pulling into the driveway was sure to see one of us come out on the porch... there were tens of thousands of dollars worth of tools and excavating equipment, not to mention gasoline, small power equipment, spare parts, including for his 69 Charger... it's one of those rural farm towns near enough to the highway where shit walks off all the time and makes it to the big city, or only to the next street... one of the most common items to be stolen is hydraulics line fittings... go to start the bucketloader and discover that some twat has walked off with half the hoses or even the cylinders... that guy turning around in the driveway might just be checking to see if that tractor has the same size fittings as his. No fucking around. We still had stuff stolen pretty regularly.
