even if you were driving like an idiot (and im in no way sayin you were) does that make it right for them to throw the brick??? i think not. a siminlar thing happened to my gramps and it hit the widscreen, luckily it didnt break it.

but it could cause a serious accident and no way should they get away with it...


use my tactics - go threaten them but take some big people with you and say its not you they should be worried about its your incredibly loyal friends!!!


but seriously say that ull b goin to the police about it as they cant b allowed to do it again!

I had someone beat me up in a public place when I was 17, they dislocated my jaw and the police only gave him a warning! When one of teh officers came around he said "off the record, get him somewhere that he's on his own and there are no witnesses and kick the living S@#T out of him!" His partner agreed!

Thats the sort of policing we need back! None of this PC Bo**ox!

I hate little kids as well, when i was driving back from uni the other day a group of about 5 kids jumped out in front of me playing chicken, had to slam the brakes on, they did the same to the cars behind me! They were stood at a crossing then jumped right into the middle of the road!

If i see them again i will chase after them.

I know of stories of people being killed by bricks coming through their windscreen. If you could find a receptive cop, you could have them charged with attempted grievous bodily harm or manslaughter (very serious charges). At the very least, they could be charged with causing criminal damage.

Having a criminal record against them could really make their lives difficult.

The big qustion is whether you think you have enough evidence to get them charged. Sure, you'll have the evidence of damage to your car, but were there any witnesses or other evidence placing them at the scene?

The other issue you now have is that you've identified yourself to the parents, haven't you? This means that you could be up for personal targetting if they decide to get back at you for going to the cops in the first place. This places you in a tough situation I guess, and you'll have to make your own decisions about taking this forward.

I certainly would recommend not engaging in any physical violence against them, because you could end up charged by the police, especially as they are minors. You could then lose massively. (Look at what happended to that woman who fired a pellet gun into the road when threatened by hoods. Police charge, conviction and now no job).

Can one of our resident police TMF members perhaps comment on the best way to manage this?

happened in france few years ago... they thrown bricks on the highway from a bridge, not just bricks, the big concrete one, 1ft long

no need to mention what happened to the driver, went in from the windscreen and out from the back window

[1984mini25]

Personally if it was me I would have stopped there and then and went after the one that threw the brick
You will also find 9 times out of 10 his so-called mates will do a runner, as they know what’s coming
Can’t really do this now as you have made your self known

when i was driving back from uni the other day a group of about 5 kids jumped out in front of me playing chicken, had to slam the brakes on, they did the same to the cars behind me! They were stood at a crossing then jumped right into the middle of the road!

I’ve had this when I used to pick my little sis up from school on my day off
Same group each week
and they wonder why kids are run over out side schools
The first few times I would slow down and stop but one week when the weren’t expecting it
I floored it soon saw them jump out the way
Strange thing is they never tried it again wonder why?

ive had kids try and play chicken with me. i just put my foot down and hope i run them over to be honest. its all the b***ards deserve.

you should keep a golf club on the parcel shelf. it works wonders.

go to the police. you might as well give it a go. people like that that need to be taught a lesson. it might not be expensive but its infuriating. they should die.

some t**t kicked off one of my arches the other day. wish i had caught him!

anyways rant over

manslaughter

It's attempted murder, lots of people have been charged for dropping bricks onto roads from above now since those kids killed that truck driver who managed to keep his truck under control so he didn't hit anyone before he died (that was heroic).

Seriously, go to the Police. This is a VERY serious offence.

I don't know why people are surprised that disgusting chavvy loutish children have disgusting chavvy loutish parents.

Parents always say 'my little darling isn't a bad boy, it's the friends he hangs around with, he wouldn't do that, he's going through a phase, he'll grow out of it, he's got ADHD,' etc etc etc. All just excuses which mean 'my kids are horrendous evil little sociopathic morons'.
