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.

Excessive speeding? It ain't excessive till I redline!

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.

Just what I was thinking. He knows your car and you ain't with it all the time.

Might not hurt to think of a smart way to do something nice to the guy that in no way is ass-kissing.

Knowing how to put out fires when they're small is a useful talent.

I cant believe all these posts saying you should not have done this. That guy must be insane to mess with your car like that. You drive an old diesel benz which means you most likely have some tools in the trunk to beat his ass with.
Skinned face is nothing.

How old are you people?! It seems like you need to get your priorities straight...What is really important in life? A car? or someone's life?
It is just a car, transportation, and not something worth hurting someone over. Find a more mature and productive way to solve your disputes.

Let's see, kid sits on hood and driver beats kid with tools that reside in the trunk. Cop arrive, arrest driver.

It's a good thing that people have to have ccp and be 21 to buy a handgun.

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!
