Sounds like you've been in my yard.
I've seen all of that too. Especially backing up over and over again without changing any geometry.
A couple of us tried to help a guy get into a dock but he wouldn't listen. So we just sat and watched. 45 minutes !!
Pumped the brakes out of air a bunch of times, we could smell his clutch, and he was sweating bullets.
This one was an experienced driver but texting. (he eventually admitted - then lied his butt off on the accident report)
I took that pic but blacked names out to be polite.
