Sorry but still no evidence beyond four cases where drivers are claiming that their accident was not their fault, they may be right but I have never yet heard anybody unreservedly admit that they were responsible for an RTA.
This post actually reflects how "precious" people now are about their cars.

Sorry but they are accidents caused by someone throwing a snowball at a car - which is what you stated in your post. - when something hits the car maybe they had a natural reaction to swerve or it blocked their view on the windscreen - one of those actually ended up with a 10 year old in hospital.

No.
They are accidents where the drivers claim to have been distracted by snowballs.
Of course no one would ever make up an excuse would they?
BTW have you changed your position since Post #9?

Perfectly serious.
In which of the four cases is there any confirmation of the driver's claim to have been distracted. Drivers can lose control for any number of reasons, particularly in winter conditions. Better to blame a snowball than admit to driving too fast for the conditions.
As for #9, you quite clearly suggest that, by returning fire, you saw it as harmless fun.

So every single one of those people made up the story depsite witness reports of kids and two cars involved and various other people in the cars - as well as the police getting involved and putting out statements. Clutching at straws
And in post 9 my story was about kids throwing a snowball at me whilst walking and me throwing them back -no suggesting that throwing snowballs at moving cars is harmless fun. If you cant see how dangerous i could possibly be then im amazed. Anything that hits a moving car can shock someone into a natural reflex reaction.

I have got one thank you.
I am quite keen on my car, it's not flash, but it was brand new 2yrs ago when I bought it and don't see why some little scrote should potentially damage something I've worked damn hard for, just so he can have a bit of fun.
And off topic, while at H4H this year, on the way into fleet, I had my drivers window down, and someone from the side of the road threw a conker at the car, had the window been up, no issue, bang and bounced off, but because it was down it hit me in the shoulder, no harm done, no accident, but had that been thrown a little harder or the timing been different it could've hit me in the face, hell if it had hit me in the eye I could've been blinded. A little OTT and dramatic, I don't think so.

Anyone that easily shocked or distracted should perhaps question whether they should be driving in the first place. Better ban radios and music in cars,
I wonder how many of those that claim a snowball is potentially a major distraction would answer their 'phone whilst driving, hands-free or not.

Good job a bee or wasp didn't get in, it might have stung you!
And I was accused of clutching at straws.!!

Its totally irrelevant to the discussion bring mobile phones or radios etc into it - when something smashes into your windscreen or into the drivers window your reflexes have a natural reaction.
Someone threw snowballs at a car and a little car ended up in hospital - that points out the potential dangers

We used to play magic rope.....
Gang of us would wait next to the road half the group eachside. When the car approached we would pretend we had a rope and act as if we pulled on it so the car would slow not wanting to hit us. We'd then throw big buds at the car just to get a chase.
If y3our dad was a copper we would terrorise them, we would go downto the the local bobby station and throw stuff at the windows to get a chase. Even more so in the winter then a gang of us would snow ball them, 9/10 they would just have a snowball fight and send us on our way.
I wont say what we did to grumps like you.....well ok I will. We used to cover their car glass with yoghurt, bud their windows then when they came out throw water then flour bombs at them. Our favourite was choo choo as he was steaming everytime we got him.
Then their was stamp the doggy, were we would put dog muck in a load of news paper, set fire to it then knock on the door. Most of the time without thinking they would open the door, stamp the fire out then walk dog muck in thr house, oh what a laugh...haha haha

Perhaps you should the some of the articles before posting:-
"TEENAGE driver Gemma Battersby is in shock today after swerving her car and crashing into another motorist when she was hit in the face by a snowball thrown by a group of boys."
Perhaps being hit in the face isn't distraction enough for you
Why would I be clutching at straws at an event which did happen and when an insect gets into the car, just open the window and it'll fly out.

Our favourite was to use the roadworks traffic signs (when available) to divert unsuspecting (non local) drivers down a couple of streets straight back to where they started.
Another was to stand at the newly installed crossing and press the button when we saw a car coming.
Oh the fun.

I have read the article and I see no corroboration of the driver's story.
I do, however, see a young, inexperienced driver who has badly damaged a car that her mother has paid for.
Neither you nor I know the facts of this case, only what was printed in the newspaper (that does not make it a fact).

There was a young girl on one of those police camera action shows who had veered into the barrier on the motorway,she claimed a rabbit had run out in front of her car.
It was obvious she was making it up,the Police suspected she had been using her phone.
The only reason they didn't check her phone records was because no one was hurt.
I'm not saying the girl hit by the snowball was lying,but you never know.

Maybe a rabbit threw one at her?
Window down, icy conditions, hmmmm, Smoking? Window not cleared properly? It's possible.

it is sad that now the society we live in mean people are immediately suspicious of the person driving - no trust that she is possibly telling the truth
