“A maneuver in which the offender, in the middle of busy and heavy traffic, at a fairly high speed, throws an object from an open window into an unsuspecting window next to a moving car, cannot be described as other than dangerous,” the decision said.

Two years ago, Štíbr drove near Prague in heavy traffic on a Volkswagen road where a family with two young sons was driving. This forced the release of the left lane, even though both lanes were full. When the driver of the Volkswagen did not dodge Štíbr, he drove him to the right at a speed of about ninety kilometers and apparently to throw a glass ball into the passenger window on the passenger side in order to take revenge for not releasing the left lane. He broke a window and the glass cut the woman in the passenger seat and her six-year-old son, who was sitting behind her.

The woman made a note of the number Scorpio had in the car and called him. According to her, at first he defended himself, saying that he didn’t know anything, that it must have been one of his employees. Then he allegedly came up with the theory that it was probably a reflected stone. When he found out that the victims had a glass ball in their hand, he allegedly told them that he had received the ball from his son and that he was calming down with it in the car.

From the beginning, Štíbr refused any guilt, in the preparatory proceedings and at the main trial he refused to testify. “I said from the beginning that I was not driving, that I was completely different,” he said at the end of the main trial last year. However, NS did not hear his objections.

“The trivialization of the possible consequences, referring to the fact that no traffic collision actually occurred, the driver did not suffer any shock as he stopped safely and the injuries to the injured were negligible, is an example of to a situation which could have far-reaching consequences and in which two people, including a minor, were injured, “the Supreme Court ruled.

Štíbr has been punished in the past for throwing a stone at a moving police car. Five years ago, he attacked the driver of a van with his fists, whose ride did not suit him. In addition, he poured about two liters of diesel instead of a passenger seat.
