Smashed Window

I had a rather unfortunate encounter today, with a 14 year old kid driving a Corsa like a f**king stunt car!

I was on my way to collect an item I had bought on eBay, from a local village (Moore, for those who know Warrington). Just as I came over a sinngle lane hump backed bridge into my sellers street, I was faced with a red Corsa, bearing no number plates, heading towards me at what must have been 70mph+ with a 14 yr old brat behind the wheel. He gave no indications of stopping, slowing down or even getting onto the right side of the road - so I swerved over to the right and blasted my horn.

The little swine put his foot down further and shot past me, giving my wing mirror one hell of a swipe - right through the passanger side window!

Needless to say, I'm extremely pissed off at the moment. I also need at least a new window (as there is nothing left of it) and possibly a new mirror.

Any idea's how much a window is likely to set me back?

Re: Smashed Window

Did he have a seatbelt on? I would have shown him the rear quarter of my car and judged him on how far he flies down the road...... on his face.
