I didn't notice high beams, possibly because they were following closely behind another vehicle. Sadly, I also couldn't tell what kind of vehicle they were driving. I was driving about 45 mph. What sucks about this happening on 297A is that it's a main thoroughfare to Cantonment. I can't get home without driving this stretch. It makes me want to get home before dark and stay there.

Would be nice for them to try that on someone with a vehicle sporting a nice row of spotlights on top. Flip 'em on and blind the suckers, maybe run them off into a ditch, brick in hand. The ultimate failure to launch. Linda for revenge in a perfect world. :-) David, I also saw that on the news about the bright lights.

I noticed on the news this morning (or was it yesterday?) they mentioned the vehicles had just met another vehicle with its bright lights on prior to the brick. While this isn't knowledge, it suggests the bricks came from the oncoming vehicle and that the driver was trying to blind them enough that they couldn't identify him. David for brickproof glass and fewer sorry people REGARDING:

Wow! There had to be quite a force behind the thrown brick and from the looks of the shape in the broken windshield it looks as if the brick hit it on its horizontal side. Which is wierd especially from bouncing off the hood and also it stated there was shattered glass? This is scary. I worry eveytime my child gets in the car especially alone. Always, I am skeptic...These days we don't know who to trust. The article states ” the brick bounced off the hood and through the windshield”.

If it is occurring in the same general area it might point to juveniles (which I would suspect) because I can't believe anyone 16 or older (someone with car) would be doing something that completely stupid! Crimestoppers needs to offer a reward so that someone that knows about it would be smart enough to turn them in, I am sure they have been bragging about it (even stupider)!

Safety glass, by its nature, does not shatter into shards of glass. It does break down into pellets of glass, and even more dangerous, minute splinters of a glass dust, which are whipped around by the outside air entering the vehicle. This is very hazardous to the human eye....a lot harder to deal with than this dust in your hair , or in your clothing. Just for your consideration.

The victims are the ones being punished! I have no doubt that these are the same criminals that smashed my windshield in May. I have the same damage but thankfully the brick didn't go through my windshield. Mine happened in the same location during the Memorial Day weekend. I was traveling north on Hwy 297A and they threw the brick at me between Pine Cone & Hwy 97. As I understood from the Escambia deputy who took my report, there have been more than 6 incidents. Mine resulted in $1600 in damage. I completely agree! The victims are the ones being punished!
