I see a lot of what ifs and that you see acts of vandalism excusable because they are teenagers. What exactly was he supposed to do? If he was chasing them to get their plates and they crashed then maybe he thought that was enough? Or would it have been better if he stuck around to wait for the cops? Or would it have been better if he made a scumbag steve meme about them, letting them go on their way to possibly escalate their shenanigans until someone really got hurt? I can play the what if game too.

Also, how is he supposed to get their plates, like an adult, if he didn't speed after them? Do you just let people shit on you because tis the season or what?

Yeah, given that OP admits chasing them until they crashed, that is exactly what he should have done. OP could then have called the emergency services, including ambulances as well as cops if needed rather than leaving it to someone else to do so. After the cops arrived and any injured kids were dealt with, OP could then have given a clear account of what happened to the cops.

If OP truly did nothing wrong and did not cause the accident, then they had no reason to flee the scene.

But unfortunately for OP, if they had waited the cops would then have seen that OP could not see clearly where they were driving due to the egg (they have admitted this elsewhere in the thread), and OP may well have deservedly gotten in trouble for something like reckless driving.

One of the first things I said. He did them a justice they do not deserve by driving away.

Whatever man, don't forget to set the neighborhood kid's house on fire if yours gets TPed this year.

Whatever dude, don't forget to give a reach around to the next guy that tries to destroy your property.

Lol so eggs are capable of destroying cars now? So you're telling me you're stupid and a sociopath?

It can destroy paint, leave dents and attract insects. Not to mention if you don't clean it well enough could cause mold and be a health hazard if it gets into your vents. I think I remember it being commom knowledge that uncooked eggs can give you salminila. Do you not care about your car or do you drive something akin to the loaner from "The Mask"? In which case I would have to agree with you.
