Size of the circle it can turn in. Usually only includes the wheelbase 
itself, not front/rear overhang. Are there any items at the edges of the 
road or driveway? pillars, guide rails, ???

Based on your dimensions of road/driveway and assuming that the sides 
are clear, Unless the driver is a moron he should be able to back into 
that driveway without a big problem.
