A Florida woman was fined over $100,000 after city officials ruled that one car in her driveway slightly encroached on grass, violating a local ordinance.

    That’s shitty. In my town we aren’t allowed to park on the “yard” like in that town but here all she would have had to do is put a strip of gravel where the tire ran over and it’s legal.

    But if it’s a four car driveway and they have four cars why don’t the cars fit?

      Because American cars get more massive each year.

        They don’t get wider. They have to fit in the same lanes that were there 30 years ago. They’ve only gotten longer and taller
