I see twigs like that all the time on my route. I just drive over them.

The top-mounted wipers and angled windshield tell me you are driving an older P-1000, probably a 113-series International. You have enough ground clearance to crush that puny branch, just stay to the left where the branches are thinner and drive on the grass.

Then, Dave, you must not be a car guy.

To put it in perspective, you must remember that Dave actually took his car to the dealership to have the license plate changed.

....or you could do the right thing and move the branch to the side of what appears to be a driveway rather than a road.....I don't think the homeowner would appreciate him crushing the branch and driving on the grass....

That's not a twig, that was half a tree.

It was too heavy to move. Trust me, it's not as small or light as it looks.
That's why I took the picture; it was right after a morning storm with water on both sides of the driveway. Had no choice but to run their heavy package up the driveway through the tree.

The homeowners on my route would appreciate me driving over the twig and helping to make kindling for their woodstove.

Is that a recent photo?

I ask because its the middle of the summer yet the trees have almost no leaves on them and the branch in the road has none whatsoever.

 

[oldngray]

Maybe its just a dead limb.

I keep a tow rope in my pkg car and on more than one occasion I have used it to drag tree limbs out of the way that were too big to drive over.

It could be worse. It could be a load of manure.

If that is a driveway, I would dr the package right behind that tree on the left. Would even bag it for them since it's summertime. That tree branch is the landowners problem.

Kind of like Mother Natures broken elevator?

In my area we have farm equipment that take up both lanes and still knock over the mail box by the side of the road.

And you can get stuck behind them for miles before you can pass.
