Safety Car
your lucky the police came, where I live the police woul dnot show up for this, they would tell you to file an ins claim and get over it. I got side swiped infront of my house, tore up the entire drivers side, found parts of the other car, I caleld the police who told me to trash the other car's parts and just call my ins company, BTW,$9,000 worth of damage.
Cripes.
I had this same thing happen to me a few years ago. Beer bottle out the side of a van full of wannabe thugs. Broke my driver side window. I took chase. Cell phone camera got a nice pic of the license plate which I took to the CHP. Two weeks later I had a letter from the CHP with a case number and a cashier's check for $2000 from daddy

Suppose that idiot had hit the OP's windshield and he swerves into oncoming traffic? That thoughtless act could have resulted in injury or death to some innocent people.
I very might well would have charged the "bottle thrower" with assault to go along with the other charges! I'd let a state prosecutor sort it out after I threw the book at them...........
BTW Kudo's to the OP for handling it with restraint but still getting them nailed.... GREAT WORK!!

Amen to that.
I think it would serve anyone to remember the, "their brains are not fully formed yet" consideration. Teenagers do REALLY stupid stuff, and rarely understand the true consequences of their actions. How do I know?

With some kids, just the right amount of guidance will get them back on track. Glad you did this in a responsible manner. If they have caring and responsible parents, you should get a thank you from them.
