Advice to keep cars from sliding into my yard on bad curve.

I had a problem with the curve in front of my house also. I started calling 911 whenever one crashed off the hiway after one drunk wanted to fight with me. after a couple of years of this the county did some work and the accident rate is much lower now. I read one of the posts where the people just drive off after tearing things up. Install enough barriers so they can't get out so the cops have time to show up. This can be as simple as a 12" high cement wall. Call 911 first then go out to se what is happening. All ya gotta say is there has been a wreck and send the Calvary. lg no neat sig line

Do the tiller ditch:

Then do the guard rail, but make it far enough back on your property. So that you can put gigantic decroative stones out.

They'll learn not to speed after a few thousand dollar repair bill. What if children were playing out there?

Just my thoughts. I hate wreckless people, especially if there is a chance of a child being hurt, even an adult for that matter.

If someone crosses his property line:

Due to wrecklessness or negligence. ie Driving too fast for road conditions. They can't sue him for their damages if he put up a stone hedge.

Did you take law lessons from Saddam Huesseim or Mommar Quadaffi?

That would be illeagle dismantling:

In other words: "Theft"

But, he could be nasty and make them get a court order to remove the car from his property!

LOL

Good suggestion, I like your sense of humor! Refinish King

What about planting Kudzu, the vines would stop the car and by morning you wouldn't even see it.....I can send you some....

If a thief breaks a leg on my property:

As the general said: "Take no prisoners, and leave none!"

The poor thief would have broken his neck too. Mr Police man, how did he get hurt so bad?

One less criminal to worry about, house and feed with our tax dollars too!

Personally:

I like log fencing, there is no law that says I can't reinforce it with 1.5" rebar either!

It's my fence, if they are driving at an unsafe speed and are risking a catastrophe. I am not liable.

Screw em, let them pay higher insurance premiums, and let my children be safe and my grand children have a mother around while I'm alive!

responsibility.

Agreed!

When you cross a property line, the property owner is absolved from any liability. With the exception of them booby trapping the ptoperty. Which opens the door for liabilaty and criminal prosecution.

Refinish King

responsibility.

What about hospitals and many commercial properties:

Heaven forbid you make the mistake of trying to back up into a parking lane to get a spot, POP, Pop, and if you're stupid enough! Pop, Pop. Now you need four new tires!

Is that hospital or commercial property owner liable?

Please answer that for me?

Thank you,

Refinish King

Pop Pop from what? Spikes to keep you from entering or backing up an exit ramp? I've never seen spikes like that in a *parking space*.

Claymores are people deterents,

land mines are the ticket, but when his kids or neighbors walk on them. Then what?

My vote: Throw grenades into the cars that get onto the property, maybe not into them. But, close enough. That they'll have to go home and wash the double bacon strips out of their shorts!

Mix a lot of nails with your grass. Won't stop the cars, but they can't drive off either. (: Use galvenized nails so they don't rust away. Or just aprk a bulldozer at the corner.

I imagine that any of those sculptures would put a hurting on the average rice burner... :)

Not a bad idea. I would ensure that the fence is on your property and check with the local building inspector to determine if any permit or variance was required to erect that type of fence. As long as it is legal, you should be OK.

Anyone who subsequently trespasses on your property and damages your yard art / fence will have some explaining to do.

Um... you might want have to have SWMBO approve the D8 color though. They just hate it when the dozer color clashes with the house paint.

So get hold of an old Patton tank and paint it camo on the house side and she'll not see it. A remote to swing the turret at will and some blank rounds might add to the impression.

Try planting blackberries instead. Pretty flowers in the spring, tasty berries and thorns to shread flesh.
