Had a pretty scary and mad (after the scare went away) event last night driving home from work. While I was cruising down a 4 lane street (2&2) on the right lane going the speed limit of 40mph, I saw these two kids riding skateboards on the sidewalk ahead. Well, as I am getting closer to them, I see this skateboard dart into the street across my lane! I was about 20 yards away, so I glance in my rearview quickly and mash the brakes....... The binders lock up good and I skid a few feet but could not avoid the board. My car ends up directly over the board, I hear a few small bumps and then my back rear tire goes over it. Thank goodness I was going about 2mph by that time. I pull over and get out, just to see the kids walking away. Oh hell no, so I yell at them to stop. I go up and talk to them (more like yell cause I am pissed!) I try to tell them what they did was dangerous and it could have been a lot worse. The kid whose board it was must have been about 16, started to bow up on me and was calling me hommie and pointing at my chest. He stared to get closer to me bowing up and telling me I shouldn't be raising my voice at him. So before it escalated, I flash my badge at him, and he instantly gets a scared look and shuts up. After all was said and done, the kids were apologizing profusely, they admitted what they did was dangerous and there was no visual damage to my car from a quick check, so I let them go. I checked my car on a lift later and there was zero damage, only a few scrapes on the under tray..... Sorry for the long post, but it scared the crap out of me!
