You have seen posts about using large rocks. That is probably what I would
do, but use a little bit larger rock like maybe 24". That would give room
for the car to get lifted (hopefully they aren't going fast enough to
actually get airborn), or the rock to be pushed further down into the soil,
and still do quite a bit of damage to the car. Perhaps enough where it
wouldn't be driving off again.

As a backup plan, and to make sure the house was safe, I think I would sink
some 6-8" concrete filled steel pipes up close to the house. If they are
still coming after the car has gone over the large rocks, the pipes should
stop them.

Any idea on what I can do about people driving too fast and sliding
around a curve landing in my front yard? The speedlimit is 35 but they
drive about 60. I got home to find huge ruts in my yard the other day.

I have talked to the county executive , judge madjestrate, highway
department. I have written letters and attached photos.

I was thinking of putting a fence up using 6x6 posts in concrete but
wondered if somehow someone would try to sue me if they got hurt.

I have a daughter and a son on the way and their bedroom faces the
road. I am scared to death someone is going to end up in my house!

I can attach pictures if that helps. I am just so fed up right now I
dont know what to do.
