Idiot Drivers

I live on a busy street but I have my garage and driveway on a dead-end side street. I must get at least ten cars a day that mistakenly turn down this street or do so on purpose to turn around. The problem is that they all use my driveway to do so. It's bad enough that my concrete sees the additional wear and tear from heavy vehicles and those leaking fluids, but last year a car even slipped on ice and crashed into my parked truck, and then fled the scene. So now I can't even park my own cars outside of the garage without fear of them being damaged. I often see drivers so impatient with driving the 100 yards to my driveway thay they will literally just turn left and swing around through my yard. Can you imagine someone so inconsiderate that they would drive on your grass to save themselves a few seconds of their precious time? Thse people are called super-mega-douchebag-assholes, not to be confused with your everyday, ordinary, run-of-the-mill inconsiderate assholes.

To make matters worse, just down the street on the right is a city street that returns you to the main drag but this street is unmarked and without local knowledge you wouldn't know to use it for said purpose. The city will not put up the proper signage to make drivers aware of this situation, but they will put every other damn pointless sign in my yard without hesitation. The street is actually a parking lot for a local church, but the city plows it for them and when I asked them why they claimed it was a city street. Oh sure it is. In that case then put up some fucking signs! I don't know if I need to sue them or what but I am fast losing patience with those who would shit on another's property for their own convenience. ^Again, see categorization above.^

I am thinking about installing some of those tire spikes you see at parking garages. That would be fun. Hey, there goes another one using my driveway. It is snowing now and I can see at least three sets of turn around tracks. It is literally non-stop, day and night. I especially like when someone tosses their garbage out their window and onto my lawn. Do I have the right to shoot another human being if they make eye contact with me standing in my own yard and STILL flick their cigarette towards me? If not, I should.
