This was the result of kids chucking rocks at cars the other evening. I was on a dual carriage way with barriers so I couldn't stop until much further down the road, which was lucky for the kids - somebody could've been seriously hurt

I got a new windscreen fitted the next day for $190.

The rock hit on the passenger side, but a bit of glass fell out just in front of my face so fortunately I could see where I was going:



Another inch to the side and it would have bounced off the rubber:

holy CRAP!
that, i take it is safety glass...
:O
little bastards.

SH!THEADS !!!!!!

little buggers, they need running over by a kombi

Did you report it to the Police?

That could've been nasty. I bet your underwear became a different colour after that. A couple of years ago a woman's car windscreen was shattered by a waterbomb thrown from a overhead bridge onto the highway. This could've been much worse...

Glad you didn't get hurt!! It could have been a lot hastier for sure:jesus

Scary stuff.

Do these kids know what danger they are putting others in let alone the expense and time to fix the windscreen:cussing

Little pricks!
I wonder what parents are'nt doing nowadays to have so many kids running around our cities causing destruction.

they're bored.

obviously their parents havent bought them a computer game in the past 3 days.

its amazing that a decade ago kids throwing rocks at cars would get their arse whooped by their parents, the cops and the driver, and now they just blame it on boredom and get away with it.

little sh*ts!:cussing:cussing:cussing

Farken r souls. That looks like some nasty goings on. Glad you're ok. I like the running over with the kombi idea...

People have been killed being hit by rocks which is why overpasses are now being enclosed.

Running over them would be too good, they should be made come over to my place and strip the paint off my cars with a toothbrush sized steel brush and then bog & sand. A bit of hard labor will get rid of the boredom.

Now that is punishment!!

Yet why do we do it in our free time??

Fair dinkum! What sort of brain capacity do these PPL posses! when ever I hear about this sort of stupidity, I always think back to the Truck driver who was killed as a result of this sort of behaviour, in western Sydney, it left three little children fatherless, a fate I can think nothing worse!
The authority's really have to start formulating some appropriate form of punishment, I think the age for taking responsibility for one's actions should be lowered, in these current times, it would be a fair presumption to say that most children from the age of 7-9 know the difference between right and wrong, upbringing and circumstances (peer group pressure, needing to conform, and place of residence) is in my opinion a cop out and excuse, we have a brain capable of individual decision, and choise. PPL who participate in these sort of actions, as far as I am concerned, know exactly what they are doing, weather or not they have considered what the outcome of their actions could bring, who knows! in most cases, I doubt it.
I think the public, should do something about the ridiculously outdated and obsolete Westminster law system we have in this country and others, and start using Common sense law, with appropriate punishment, untill this happens, crimes like this will continue to exist.
Rob........

i agree to that.
My old boss's boyfreind is in jail because he threw a rock at a car and the driver was killed instantly.
Things can turn out much worse than you predict with such a stupid prank.

SH!T ! little sons of bitches!

i would of stopped up the road locked the bus up and then went and kicked the butts or throw my bus at the and see how they like it.......rock for a bus bus for a rock is what i say

jeeeesus!! how stupid do you have to be to do something like that??? i mean, i know that there are some dumb ppl out there but i would've been going after them. you need to get a pellet gun, seriously bruises, but doesn't kill. i would've been off the freeway and hanging a uie (u-turn) to go and get the bastards!!!!

i say we kick some ass! get a whole line of mean and angry VW's coming down the road towards them. And they'll think twice before messing with any VW's again.

:cussing:cussing

where abouts was this? just so i know to look out for the little sh*ts

It happened in Canberra. It was in Tuggeranong on Athlon Drive next to the lake (near the sk8 p4rk).

I've heard it's been happening in other places too, like on the Monaro Highway at the Fyshwick end.

That sucks big time. How can anybody get their kicks out of such a stupid and dangerous thing.

If only the little bastards knew that they could kill someone:cussing:cussing:cussing:cussing:cussing:cussing:cussing:cussing:cussing:cussing:cussing:cussing

thats pretty crappy.. i'm glad you're okay.. have you reported it? hopefully someone will have the sense to fence in alot of those overpasses, they're pretty dangerous to innocent people...

And not long after you had the front end re-done That suxors!

That sucks.

There was a couple of people killed here a few years ago when kids threw rocks from above a freeway - the rock went through the windscreen and instantly killed the driver.

I don't know what these morons are thinking. I hope the police find who did this and they get done for attempted murder.

Here's the truck driver result, though: pathetic sentences.
