Hello,
After stopping by in a village, the driver thought they had entered the next destination into Google maps and so continued their journey. However, it directed them to make a sharp turn onto what looked like a country lane. Driver actually missed the road the first time but came back and turned in, focused ahead as it was a narrow road. They continue until reaching a point where a fence lays next to the road on either side which had private road, no access signs. Maps was saying to continue but driver stopped and manoeuvred to face the exit direction.
Before driver started to leave, they checked maps to see they inadvertently clicked on a random location to which the destination was set to. Whilst 'driver 1' is amending the destination on the side of the road, a car comes down from the private section beyond the fence and this 'driver 2' blocks 'driver 1', says "alright" and tells their passenger the plate number of "driver 1" and drives further down the road stopping on the side. 'Driver 1' having corrected their navigation after a few mintues, now drives towards entrance, past 'driver 2' (who could have stopped to record them on the road). 'Driver 1' looks at the surroundings of the entrance at the main road and sees one 'private road' sign in the bush which was not obviously visible when entering, and also a similar small sign on a short post on the corner with other small boards which seemed like commercial signs, again, not eye catching when entering from the main road.
Unfamiliar with the area and led by the navigation, 'driver 1' enters private road and drives until they see an obvious sign. They are concered because their plate number was recorded and were possibly filmed by exiting (what they thought was an ungated public road) by 'driver 2'. 'Driver 1' is worried monetary demands may be made or that they are threatened court action by 'Driver 2'. Any advice on the laws surrounding this or previous experience would be hugely appreciated.
