What can I put along edge of drive, to make it more visible during night, when reversing car up in rain?

[striker]

Just put up a pir spotlight on the house. As soon as you enter the drive it will light up the area.

Drive right up tight to them, no need to even look, jam it in reverse, and floor it.
Notice most have tire marks at least 3/4 the way up the sides.....

a 2" -4" pole at rear of the driveway if its a straight reverse in

have that with reflector strip

it will illuminate with brake, reverse lights as well as fog lights

then line it up with your side mirror its practice after that but you can fully reverse in your drive using it that way
as i had to reverse down 15ft-20ft in a van
then reverse another car at side of the main drive with another drop off then the last car at side of that

As it’s on 4 pages now have you reversed up the drive yet?

Glue some of these along the edge, cheap to replace, brightly coloured and providing an audible alarm:

Sod's law dictates that if you did nudge the cone it would not politely move out of the way but jam itself under the car and require a jack etc to remove it and £500.0 of repair to the ,now buckled, wing.

I left a battery out for the scrap man and forgot when I reversed one of the lowered cars on, it went straight over it and jammed between the wheel and sill with the car half in the road,
Had to jack it up on the rear tow hook

Upgrade the bulbs in the reversing lights might be a good start - maybe try led ones.

There are reversing cameras out there with a built in led reversing light & they're not expensive.

After market parking assist sensors mounted along the drivers side.

solid tone you‘re nice and safely close, slower beeps you’re too far left

Lorry D buffering. Mount flat face down. Use resin fixed stainless studs, flat washers and nuts.

You have to use a hole saw in the apex of the D, to cut a hole for getting a socket in there.

You can get it in black/white.

This is just an example from Wilks below. They are in the ar$e end of Essex btw:

Our range of boat D fender profiles provide an ideal solution to a number of end use requirements. The D fender design delivers a high level of impact protection making them well suited to the marine environment.

Expensive though, you might look to a lorry/trailer outfitters and see if you can get some secondhand stuff.

Reckon as the tyres hit this you might get a warning squeak.

As an FYI that edge would be considered a fall from height risk at work and require a handrail. By affixing anything you can trip over you've actually added a second risk.

My M&Ds is almost identical. Dad did drive off the edge a couple of times.

You can buy a Hi-Vis paint and paint a 2" or 3" strip on the edge of the drive. I'm sure you can buy a reflective paint too. Though it's much better to have some sort of barrier between the drive and the edge .......like a rubber bump stop . Anyway here is the paint :

Painting the edge is good until it snows.
