Throwing objects at a vehicle is considered a felony. About 14 years ago, my wife and I were on our way out to dinner and had just turned onto a main road. As soon as we had turned and started accelerating, I noticed a bunch of large rocks in the road, and almost immediately heard what I assumed were those rocks being kicked up and hitting the car. Almost as quickly, I realized that the sound I heard had been rocks that were being thrown at our almost new car.

We called 911 and were told the police had been trying to catch whoever had been doing this all day long. They ended up catching the little bastards right after we called. Two 13 year olds and two 14 year olds. They were charged with a felony. We ended up agreeing to lesser charges in favor of some serious community service, etc. They each had to write us a letter of apology as well.

The rocks they threw broke the windshield, the right rear glass, and put baseball-size dents in the entire right side of our car. My wife could have been killed if a rock had come through her window. Thankfully, no one was hurt.

All this is to say, as stupid as whoever the idiot was that was driving the car that almost hit you, throwing something at him/her would have brought you down to their sub-human intelligence level, and potentially made you a murderer. Not worth it.
