Meno: Your quote from the Traffic rules does not support your definition of a driveway. My neighbor obtained a permit for a curb cut to a little area in front of his home that fits the definition of 4-01(b) but would not be in anyone’s imagination a “driveway”.
The question for the OP is how do you know if it’s an “illegal driveway” or not? and what geographic location are you located?
