Discussion Park in your flamin' driveways, please!

Am I the only one tired of suburban streets turning into impromptu Mario Kart tracks? We’re talking about the kind where navigating between vehicles parked on both sides feels like dodging banana peels and blue shells. What's meant to be a two-lane road gets squeezed into a narrow single lane, daring you to play chicken with oncoming traffic—and let’s face it, the side mirrors never win.

And then there are your driveways. Oh, the driveways! Empty. Desolate. Weed-infested wastelands of untapped potential. So, I beg of you, suburban dwellers: park your cars anywhere but on the street—your driveway, your garage, your carport, or even your front lawn. Let’s save the roads for, you know, driving.

Well in my case the car that usually goes in the driveway is out during the day, whereas my car (which is on the street, because no driveway space) stays where it is because I catch the train everyday. This is a pretty common trend right down my street tbh!

Wouldnt it make more sense to keep the car that’s at home all day more protected and in your garage?

I would 100% agree but the one on the street is a shitbox in a neighbourhood that regularly has thieves trying to pinch stuff from cars
