You need to differentiate between driveways people have mapped, and 
unmodified TIGER.

Deleting the former is wrong. The latter is different, as in some areas 
the errors are greater than the distance between driveways, you can't 
tell what the TIGER data is supposed to be representing, and when 
correctly mapping, it's easier to delete them and draw new ways than 
figure out the TIGER ones.
