u sure ?cuz they can rear end u and resulted worse than just getting ur bumper scraped

Why would they rear end you? They have to pay for that unless your driveway is located off a major street.

Are you sure they wouldn't want to stop and wait for a few seconds than rear end you? Seems like common sense to me.

I vow solemnly to everyone on this message board: I will pull in my driveway from now on as slowly as necessary. If there are cars behind me, I may just pass my house and turn around to pull in without pressure.

That's the ticket.

If possible, pull in at an angle rather than straight in, it may help avoid future scuffs.

It is hard to not scrape--the worst though is going over a speed bump and scraping underneath the middle of the car--I did that once and hated it. But a tip to not scrape the front--take steep driveways and such at an angle and go slow. never go straight on. And I never ever worry about the people behind me--I take my time. Basically what I like to do is pull up to the driveway or entrance I want to get into and get perpendicular with the entrance and then cut my wheel and slowly go up over the entrance--I almost never scrape.
