In the US, this happens somewhat regularly, and usually for some variation of a few reasons. - A landlocked lot has an easement on an adjacent lot for a driveway. The owner of the adjacent lot has their own driveway off the easement to minimize landuse dedicated to the movement and storage of vehicles. - A flag lot, where the "pole" passes one or more lots that the neighboring landowners are getting easement from the flag lot owner to limit the overall landuse among all landowners dedicated to driveways. Usually the more complicated the flag lot/landlocked lot situation is, the more likely the affected landowners are going to work with each other on easement to just limit the amount of land everyone loses to driveways. For example here in Oklahoma, in situations where there's a landlocked lot between a landowner with frontage and a flag lot, the typical arrangement is for the flag lot to have a driveway, and the two other lots to have easement (even though the frontage lot has, well, frontage), with the frontage and landlocked lots sharing a wide driveway off the flag lot driveway.
