Threat and coercion ? My neighbor has blocked me on a way with his car and prevented me from driving on

My neighbor blocked me on a path with his car. It is a dirt road, I could not pass him. He stood there for at least 5 minutes, looking in the rear view mirror, etc.
I was afraid he was going to get out. It is very difficult to reverse on the path (hollow path). I probably would not have been able to drive away from him. The nearest houses are over a kilometer away. Cars rarely drive on this path. Maybe three a day.
I felt threatened and coerced. What should I do ?...

I'm sorry to hear that you had a difficult experience with your neighbor. It's understandable to feel frustrated and upset when someone prevents you from going about your day as you normally would.

If you feel comfortable doing so, you could try talking to your neighbor about the situation and explaining how their actions affected you. They may not have realized the impact of their actions and could be willing to apologize and work with you to avoid similar incidents in the future.

If you're not comfortable speaking to your neighbor directly, you could consider reaching out to a mediator or third party to help facilitate a conversation. This could be a neighborhood association, a community mediator, or even the police if you feel that your safety is at risk.

In the meantime, it's important to take care of yourself and try to let go of any feelings of anger or frustration towards your neighbor. You could try practicing relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing or meditation, or engaging in activities that help you feel calm and centered. Remember that you have the power to control your own reactions and emotions, even in difficult situations.
