The town that I live in is very hilly. There are rules limiting driveway grade that the developers have to follow when building, but sometimes they whine and complain enough to the planning board that they get a waiver. Well one winter's morning our rescue was dispatched to a medical problem at a pretty new home with a fairly steep drive. We went in and evaluated the patient and went back out after the ambulance got there to bring the litter in. The medics got out of their rig setting the brake of course. Then there goes the ambulance sliding down the driveway. It could have been bad if it had been an engine and another firefighter was arriving after it and was walking up the drive. The Fire Dept. prevailed upon the planning board to quit giving driveway waivers. Not long after this during the summer, while a friend that is a developer was away on active duty to Bosnia, his two twenty something sons were running the business. I drove by one day when they were working on the driveway of a new home that was coming down steep to the road. Not only were they making it too steep, they also had it running right out into the dirt road by about three feet. I knew that they wouldn't get away with it so I tried to explain it so that they wouldn't have too much tearing out to do. They wouldn't listen and did it their way, and had to tear it out and put in a sweeping curve.
