Idiot ****face vs. Benz; Winner: Benz

So this idiot was messing with me at school today, long story short, he ended up sittng on my hood while I was waiting to get out of the lot. The car infront of me moved and there was nothing behind me, so I floored the gas, until the speedo just barely started to move, and then SLAMED on the brake, I skidded around 2 feet, the guy flew off the hood, and skinned half his face!

And His parents will be sueing yer azz tomorrow...

What he did was not very smart ; but what you did, was use a leathal weapon, in the eye of the law.
This bloke proved to be no threat to your person; but you could have killed him.
Speakin from experiance.....

Police classify that sort of action as assault with a deadly weapon
Now, if your hood is bent in or damaged in some way you better not sue him or it may backfire on you.

This thread would fit much, much better in the Open Discussion than in the Diesel Discussion.

I'm sure that if the author were to ask a moderator, he could move it there.

Oh man I hope you don't get in trouble from the school. Was the guy bleeding bad? I think he deserved what he got. The other thing I would worry about is that the guy will really be after you now. He sounds like a bully. Be ready to defend yourself against the school and that guy. Tell them you feared for your safety, and that now you are really afraid that the guy is going to come after you. This will put the school on notice so that if that guy gets near you again he will be in trouble. Even though he got his medicine, you probably should not have done that. Also you should not speak to anyone about this. Maybe it will all blow over, but if you go shooting your mouth off you could make things worse.

People should never TOUCH another person's car. I try to not even touch people's cars with my clothing when in a tight parking space.

I can remember one of my redneck fraternity brothers sitting on the trunk of my BMW 2002 and there was a group of people around and I got pretty hot so he got off my car. What a jerk.

Good luck, I hope nothing happens except that the jerk will leave you alone now.

It wasn't tht bad of a skinning, doubt its any material to sue over, most of the skin was still there... Got a scratch on my hood, but I have so many scratches that I need a repainting anyway.

That is good to hear. Skinning your elbow or knee is one thing, but your face is something much more serious. I hope this guy leaves you alone now. I hate bullys.

Not a very smart move. 10mph is pretty fast to slam on the brakes. Just hope he does not report it to the school or police. Big trouble would be a likely result for you.

Yeah, this guy at my college looked at me funny so I just ran him over with my 300sd goin about 90. Geez! It's a car not a weapon! The guy sounds like a total D**k, but legally, you could get into some hot water. plus, he's just gonna retaliate by screwing with your car.

Using the car like that is pretty dangerous. I would rather get out of the car, but that creates a whole new set of problems. It would have been better to confront the kid at a later date, but who would have guessed you would hurt him badly with the car?

If someone touched my 2002...I don't know what I would do. I'm very non violent and avoid confrontations, but I take my cars seriously.

No one has touched my benz yet, but some have come close to touching the bimmer, and I got really pissed off. Luckily I no longer go to High School (what a joke) so I don't have to worry about some stoned waste of life touching my car as much.

I wouldn't worry too much about it. The guy sits on the hood of a car with the engine running; what does he think is going to happen? You've got to get him off of there somehow.

And I've known some prosecutors in my time. They tend to be very careful about who they charge and with what. I doubt very much that anyone will be eager to charge you with assualt with a deadly weapon over this incident. Reckless driving sounds more in line with what happened to me, although I can't recite the specifics of that charge.

If the guy goes to the cops, I wouldn't be surprised if they laugh at him. They have a sense of humor, too!

I came out of the store to see a bunch of people gabbing in the parking lot and one of them was leaning on my camry using my spoiler as their drink coaster. I love remote trunk openers

Best part was that they yelled at me for dumping their drink, to which I replied that they owed me a car wash if they really wanted to push the issue.
