    Whats the best type of paving slabs or bricks for a driveway and the weight of a car?

    Im looking around the various places and alot of what I am seeing is only 25-30mm mm thick and surely would crack and break under the weight of a car driving over it?

    So whats ideal to use for a driveway?

    Thanks.:)

    I've just finished a patio area using 50mm paving bricks. The supplier told me that they would be suitable for driving on but that 60mm bricks are the most suitable to take the weight of traffic.
    The bricks are from Tobermore, who are UK based, and have a good website/brochure with ideas and information for laying the bricks.
    Good luck!
