Becky has a thorny problem as guys keep parking in her garden
Becky Guy says traffic calming measures should be implemented to prevent further incidents.
Becky Guy, who lives on Whittlesey Road on the B1040 near Thorney, Peterborough, said over the past five years about 10 cars have crashed into her garden or her neighbour's.
Isn't this a job for some reinforced concrete posts in the hedge?
If you want dead people instead of a damaged hedge, sure.
Becky Guy said her daughter and her dog are often in the garden
If the choice is between endlessly letting reckless drivers crash into your hedge and hoping that they don't injure anyone else while waiting for the council to do its damn job and put a speed restriction up and running the risk of said reckless drivers sustaining more serious injuries then I think that in that imperfect world I might invoke caveat rector.
If only they could manage to not crash into bushes.
Better dead reckless drivers than a dead you hit by said drivers while in the garden.
A hedge doesn't really have a lot of stopping power to save you from a ton of steel and plastic.
Sounds good
What about building a ramp hidden behind a very thin hedge?
Then if someone goes through it: cool action-film sequence!
Have to point it away from the house though or:

Is this milkshake related?
Damn right, hers is better than mine.
I don't see where she's charging but maybe?
She isn't charging right now, but she have to charge. I think that's why all the boys bring their car to the yard
I see this and think to myself, huh, this has happened multiple times in the past-- I wonder how the road might be encouraging drivers to go this fast?
checks google maps streetview
No streetlights,
no reflective signs near the turn(there are signs if you are heading south), the road is completely straight leading up to the turn, and the lanes look huge (can fit nearly two cars in one lane).And they are wondering why this happens?
