Legal Question in Criminal Law in Pennsylvania

what kind of fine or penalty?

My brother and i were driving and passed a vehicle as soon as we passed the vehicle sped up behind us very closely and put his high beams on. Measures were taken to let this car pass ex. slowing down pulling to the side of the road, the vehicle did not pass. Later down the road it sped up and started slowing down right in front of our car. Fingers were exchanged and we sped up to get away from this car. The car again sped up and got right behind us and would not give up. Me being the typical ''young and stupid'' stage i throw a handful of paintballs that we had in the trunk up in the air to fall behind our vehicle. The driver of the other car called the police and later that night we received a call to go to the station the next day. I know me being the passenger will have some reprocussion, but what will happen to both drivers and will both have repremand for road rage? Can we file charges against the other driver? Please help thank you

You and your borther may have a defense. Your actions while unorthodox may be self defense. You both should consult with an attorney to discuss the matter. I offer free consultations.
