Some years ago there was a section of dual carriageway near Peterborough which became known as "bomb alley". The final straw (thank heavens) for the local boys in blue was when a routine patrol at 4am found a paving slab suspended on a rope from a bridge at windscreen height...

For anyone who recalls the paving slab thrown through a taxi's windscreen during the miners' strike, the effects are well-known and unpleasant.

When are we going to start sentencing parents for these sorts of crimes? The attitudes can only start in one place...


Parents of offending children under 18 should take the full sentence/fines of the crime their children commit, this is the only way these type of parents take note.


what liberal nazi camp did you come out of? How about accepting that sometimes people are shits despite the best efforts of their parents. You cant take away the parents power to discipline, the teachers too or the police and then expect a good old talking to work.

Some kids are evil little bastards, end of, as are some adults and it is just a ing joke to even dare to look for reasons to justify why the do what they do.

Why do some child abusers claim they do it because it was done to them? What about the others that had it happen that don't go on to do it?

Was zipping down an empty motorway at about 90mph in the wee hours, and some turd chucks a glass beer bottle straight at me from a bridge. He didn't so much let it drop as fling it with as much force as he could muster. He was obviously aiming for my windscreen, but thank all divinity that it hit my roof, not far from the edge of the windscreen.

When there was a thunk I got the biggest shock of my life and it took a while to register what had happened. A bit later I imagined what would've happened had the bottle actually hit the windscreen. Not very pretty, and more than likely it would've been the end of me.

The dent on the roof was quite an impreesive crater that hit the headlining.

its a shame but this is what this country is coming to. the streets being run by hoards of hooded little scum bags with no respect with themselves or others. All they live for is getting pissed up/high and releaving their boredom on normal honest people by harrasing them...

I had a nice incident when I was driving down a road in my home town towards the station. As I came down the hill about 15 little chavvers were walking in the middle of a busy road not moving out the way of traffic....as I slowed down they all started shouting and being general dicks. I was happy to ignore them and drive on until one kicked my car. So I slammed on the breaks, got out and smacked him in the face!

If your old enough to give it then you should be old enough to suffer the consequences....

Unforunately discipline is regarded as an ugly word - you not allowed to give your kids a slap on the back of the legs etc No wonder they grow up not giving a toss. There are no penalties.

Chucking objects at cars almost sounds like a laddish prank - the truth of the matter is that it's incredibly dangerous. For the car owner it's one of the most maddening things too to have your possessions damaged by some little scrote who just pedals off laughing. mad

This was one thing I was always concerned about when I used to drive down the Black Water Valley dual carridgeway, so I always tried to keep an eye on the bridges, I'd usually switch lanes as well.
Paranoid.
Yes.
But its for their protection, because I would get out, find them, throw them off the bridge.

I think part of the problem is that they are clever little sods, because they know the police don't do anything except nick motorists, and perhaps the odd murderer. Surely something is going to have to happen because I'm sure that people are really getting tired of 'the horde of chavs'.

I have some friends that used to go around the town in the evenings after being at a club or something, and anyone causing trouble literaly got their heads kicked !
That was good fun.

Not in the same league, but i was driving down the motorway last night, and about 5 neds tried to spit on every car that went past, I went into the outside lane, then gave it a quick switch to the inside lane right before the bridge, they nearly fell over themselves trying to move over!

Little ***ts!!

Well I disagree with the cries of "it's not the parents fault", if parents don't take an interest in their children then yes it is their fault.

All the parents I know who look after their kids and do interesting things with them to stimualte their interest and imagination have very nicely behaved and mannered children.

I know other parents who just want their kids out of their way and are happy to let them do their own thing all day everday and let them run wild with other kids who are a bad influence, these become the kids who play in the streets and get up to no good.

There was a case on the M2 (I think) last year where someone in a car going the other way chucked a Jack Daniels bottle into a path of a car - it caused loads of damage but could have been much much worse

A long time ago one of my mates was giving me a lift home when we went past a load of chavs and one of them threw a piece of brick at the car, it hit just below the side window and made a deafening clang as it hit metal.... My mate unphased said that was unlucky... I asked him why he said that whilst he kept on driving ahead, as I would have stopped and tried to batter the offending little shit who threw the brick... He simply said he knew who it was and where he lives...

I found out a week later about a rumour went round that someone had taken a metal baseball bat to the same chav's p and j, a chavmobile with a halfords shop attached to it, the attack had made it a right off and attached to the windscreen was a note that simply said....

Payback's a bitch!!

I saw some kids throwing bricks at cars off a footbridge over the M20 3 or so years ago and I stopped and called the Police who were excellent in responding very rapidly, I was still on the call when literally moments later I saw the blues and twos charging down the other side of the carriageway and stopping near the bridges.

Nice to see such a great response.

Of course in those days I could use the phone whilst driving but now I'd have to wait until I could exit the motorway and park somewhere to call by which time the hooligans would have long gone!

The only person responsible for throwing a bottle/brick/egg/stone at a passing car is the fecker whose hands the object left.

Is it just me, or is getting revenge yourself the only way these days?

I was driving through southampton a few years ago along a fairly main road. I was just passing a pubs beer garden when I spotted a largish object flying towards my car....it was a brick!

Luckily I managed to bang the brake pedal which meant the brick caught my bonnet and luckily shot straight over the roof of my car narrowly missing the rest of the car but more fortunately the windscreen.

I was absolutely livid so I stopped the car, ran into the beer garden and yelled like a nutcase to find out who had just thrown the brick. Unfortunately for me it was full of inbreds who seemed to know eachother and no-one wanted to tell me who it was.

Perhaps in retrospect its a good job they didnt tell me as I could have got in alot of trouble even though someone had endangered my life with a brick!

Oh and I now have a huge patch of lacquer missing from my bonnet after it was jet washed to clear all the bits of brick off the bonnet...rage

It is perfectly legal to use the phone whilst driving to call 999.

I wish that the emergency services would point that out a bit more, as I can see people taking this attitude a bit nowadays...

A few years ago, I was driving down the M3 one day with a coach in front of me (loaded with school kids on a day trip) and between junctions 4 and 4a some ccensoredt threw a rock and hit the bus screen, luckily, I know the area very well and with 3 mins, I was off the Motorway, (albeit on the phone to the police - 3 points!?!?!) and cornered the little buggers! Police arrested a 17yr old and charged him with criminal damage... result!!!! (I'm not a hero, it really fooked me off that it could have been me!!!!)

I had a car egged once last year, £900 to fix because they went through the paint to metal, door and bonnet painted, called pc plod to report and got normal response!


I've had eggs thrown at two of my cars - once in Theale and the other time in Winnersh.

It's amazing the damage that eggs can do to bodywork. Like you Nigel I got the usual Police repsonse, despite having full descriptions of the perpetrators... fcensoreding little wcensoreders furious

Last summer, the missus had some kids on the pavement try to throw some plastic bottles into the car via the sunroof! Luckily for them I wasn't with her.

I had a water balloon chucked at the windscreen of the Chim once, by a bunch of lads on bikes going the other way.

I did an immediate U-turn with spinning tyres, it was ing hilarious to see them pedal their arses off, terrified that I'd run them down.

They turned into a housing estate and I gave up, but not before screaming a bollocking at them that they wouldn't have forgotten.


This reminds me of a time I was in my modified mini (old one) and some schoolkids kicked a football at it as it went past, the last thing they expected was the swift handbrake turn and rapidly approaching mini with smoke pouring from the front wheels, the looks on their faces as the scattered like rabbits was priceless....

B***ards. To put it politely, b***ards.

Not long ago I had a golf ball lobbed at my car as I went (at snails pace, in traffic) under a bridge on the way into Leeds. Luckily the little c*** was a lousy shot and only managed to clip my drivers' side door glass with no damage. My girlfriend stopped me jumping out of the car and ripping the throat out of the filthy little scumbag that threw it. furious

Perhaps the way forward is simply to kick the living s***e out of the scrotes every time they pull this kind of stupid stunt.
