Does your property have a difficult driveway with insufficient room to turn the car around? If so, the solution may be British Turntable’s DriveAway, a car parking turntable for domestic driveways.

Perhaps you have a long winding drive that is difficult to reverse down, or an exit onto the highway with poor visibility. You may even wish to increase the garden space by reducing the turning circle.

Purposely designed to accommodate the majority of European family size vehicles, this 3.6 metre diameter car drive turntable is a solution to the ever increasing problem of dangerous reversing onto or off main roads and congested areas, as well as planning permission issues.

The user simply drives on the car turner in any position, turns the vehicle manually with little effort and drives off again safely - the perfect solution for safe driveway entry and exit, making difficult vehicle manoeuvres a thing of the past.

The idea is at once ingenious and simple. Young and old visitors to the BBC Gardeners World Show, where the DriveAway was launched, quickly discovered that turning the car requires only minimal effort.

The product is suitable for self-installation on top of the driveway, however its low profile of 70mm (2.75") means that it's also relatively easy to flush-fit the unit into the driveway. It’s robust enough to take the majority of family-sized vehicles up to 1800kg/3960lbs in weight, smooth in operation, built to withstand inclement weather conditions and requires little maintenance.

It could also be built into a garage floor, allowing hassle-free garaging of more than one car through a small doorway or into a garage exiting directly onto a main road.

The company, whose products can be found on www.driveawaymat.co.uk also make a motorbike turntable.
