Yet everyone does it. There are countless drives like that around here. It
is no more dangerous to anyone to drive over one than a dropped one.

Nothing to do with danger. A dropped kerb implies that the pavement has
been strengthened where it will be driven over, to protect the services
underneath. Not the case where it's not dropped.

Utter bull****. People park on pavements all the time. And pavements
are at least as strong as my driveway.

What an ignorant twerp it is, to be sure.

when I needed "highway access" for our first house - the original access
being on a bit of the garden that had been sold off - I was required to
build the access to "highway standards" for 6 feet from the road edge. A
full 5 cuyds of Readymix solved that. 1965 that was and it still looks as
strong as ever.
