1. 1. Safety First: Exiting your car could put you at risk, especially if the incident is part of a larger confrontation or if the thrower might be aggressive. Staying inside keeps you safer from potential harm.
   2. Avoid Escalation: Engaging with the individual who threw the egg might escalate the situation. By remaining in your car, you reduce the chances of further conflict.
   3. Witness and Evidence: Staying in your car allows you to observe the situation and potentially gather information that could be useful later, such as the description of the person or their vehicle. This can be valuable if you decide to report the incident.

1. Legal and Insurance Concerns: If you need to report the vandalism to the police or your insurance company, being able to provide accurate details about what happened can be crucial. Staying in your car helps you keep a clear view of the event and reduces the risk of missing important details.
2. Prevention of Additional Damage: If you exit the car and leave it unattended, there’s a risk of further vandalism or damage. Staying inside helps you maintain control over the situation and your vehicle.

After ensuring your immediate safety, you can assess the damage and then decide on the next steps, such as contacting authorities or your insurance company.
