I live in a very residential area, so I have no experience with this. But I personally would feel very uncomfortable and even a bit threatened if I noticed a strange car just “hanging out” in my driveway. Keep in mind that I would have no way of knowing whether or not the driver is Jewish or frum, or what her motives may be in spending time in my driveway.
If, however, a frum-looking person knocked on my door and said, “I have an errand in this neighborhood; do you mind if I park in your driveway?”, I would gladly agree, unless I needed the use of the driveway at that time.
