Some guy with a fuming mad face said that what are you guys doing out here what are you guys doing walking in people's driveways and you touched my car I never want to see you in this neighborhood ever again. The reason why I walked on the guys driveway was because the road has no sidewalks and I wanted to prevent getting hit by a car. I only walked on the part that borderlines the street.
Hey Patrick! That sounds like a stressful situation. Generally, in New York, you have the right to walk on public property, and if the streets lack sidewalks, it's understandable you'd use the edge of driveways for safety.
Would you like guidance on how to handle any potential legal issues that could arise from this? For instance, if the person decides to take further actions?
