you're basically blaming the kid for all the troubles.. for putting that debris on the road and for making you hit it at fullspeed. 

Are you saying that the whole line of cars in the other lane sped up so that you couldn't have hit the brakes and swerved into the other lane behind the kid?  Because, there's a lot more people that need to get a punch in the nose.

No I'm saying you couldn't hit the brakes, But wat is your first instict to avoid, so you goto change lanes and this point you can't cuz some dips*** is an ass, then you go to brake. I'm not saying the debris on the road is his fault but speeding up to stop you from swerving is his problem.

and how do you get to that point where you identify the obstacle, choose to go around it, signal, check your blind spot, notice the kid pull up into your blnd spot, decide to not slow down, take in the kid giving you the finger and laughing at you, and not have time to slow down to a stop and/or pull in behind the kid?

and then to think you are fully justified in hitting the kid because he 'forced' you into the puddle?
