What is the name of your state? Pennsylvania. Our neighbors are very protective of their property. We live on a busy road and the speed limit is 45. Over the last few years we have had a handful of people over-shoot our driveway when looking for the house for the first time and pull into her driveway by mistake. We usually warn friends and contractors who come to the house to stay far away from the property line, but today a friend came to deliver something to us and, before we could warn him, he pulled out to leave and drove out of her driveway which lies maybe a foot or two from the property line. They were watching from their window (They always watch our comings and goings) and my husband went to apologize because this has happened before. He was met with hostility from the husband while his wife shouted obscenities from inside the house. After their rantings and my husband's apologizing and explaining that the person had never been here before and he had not had time to warn him to stay away, they threated legal action against us. My question is: Are we legally responsible for the actions of persons after we have said our goodbyes and they are leaving our home? We have no way of anticipating anyone exiting via her driveway and we don't ask anyone to do it. I personally would never even consider using someone else's driveway to leave an adjacent house. Like I said, we do our best to tell people to stay away, but we occasionally miss the opportunity to tell someone. Our neighbors do not have "No Trespassing" signs up...Can I put signs up on my property "Psycho next door do not pass this line!!!"? (My guess that they would sue for slander)! I just want to do the right thing and live in peace.What is the name of your state?
