Car bottoming on drive way - best solutions?
I have a hatchback mondeo and having a problem with it bottoming on the concrete when entering the drive way.
The curb outside is high but sloped then slopes downwards after the pavement.
I'm thinking of buying some more gravel to higher the drive way on entering, do you reckon this would work or would it simply be a short term solution?
Are there any other options to consider?

Cheap rubbish. They break if you walk on them, never mind drive a car over them. Get some decent pavers.I want to go back to The Olden Days, when every single thing that I can think of was better.....

Way too fragile. Get to a reclaim yard and utter the words "Council slabs".
It's what I did 3 years ago due to housemate's car grounding out, and they've happily stood a 5 tonne van driving over them since.Yes it's overwhelming, but what else can we do?
Get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute?0 -
I have a Mondeo estate with a long rear overhang, and I have made it worse by fitting a removeable tow hitch. It bottoms out with a crash (on the tow hitch) whenever I go up my driveway.
I just turn up the radio.If someone is nice to you but rude to the waiter, they are not a nice person.0
