The question is what should a reasonable person cutting their grass do in a situation like this. a reasonable person cold simply stop mowing the lawn and wait for the person to return to their car. That is an easy way to have avoided this situation, especially since the person mowing the lawn knows that he is causing grass and whatever small rocks to fly into the street (OFF HIS PROPERTY). Therefore, i think that the person with the car has a decent case, unless the person saw the guy mowing the lawn and took the risk of her car getting hit. I say the person with the car has a chance of winning depending whether she parked before the guy was cutting the grass.
