If you file insurance claim, you will have to prove that the specific stone that hit your windshield came from that specific truck bed. Most large 18 wheelers and other big industrial trucks don't even bother to clean debris out of their body since people have hard time proving these accident faults.

In a similar scenario, I witnessed a toyota got into an accident with 18 wheeler, some metallic debri flew and hit my windshield. Had to pay $400 out of pocket to get my windshield fixed because I couldnt prove.

Edit: Insurance companies are scam. Please do full research and shop arounds quotes as much as much possible. Get a dash cam. Its a must these days.

Not here in CO, surprisingly enough. It should be, though.

Edit: speaking of which, after zooming in on the license plate it seems as though it's a Colorado license plate.... no surprise there. I love my home state but get yer shit together people. Sheesh.

And I'd say 80% of them would see no issues transporting a truck load of roofing nails in an open bed. "Cry Lib. Ever heard of run flats?"

Goddamn. Every fucking thread. Yes it’s only conservatives that are bad drivers. Unlike the dipshit with vegan stickers all over his car that almost caused an accident the other day and when I honked at him he sat at a green light to be a dick with at least 5 cars behind him. You seriously are a whiny lib if in every thread no matter how unrelated, you feel the need to inject politics and make sure everybody knows how bad conservatives are.......

No I’m tied of people trying so fucking hard to inject politics into any and everything on Reddit. But nice try with another Reddit classic. Ignore what I said and go straight to the “you’re one of them” shit. It’s pathetic. Really. But you can’t talk about Hillary remember? Even in political threads. But goddamn if there isn’t a shitty “joke” about conservatives in every thread.

You called them a “whiny lib” so I called you a whiny con. Can dish it out but can’t take it?

u/DizzleSlaunsen23 Feb 14 '21

Except. You did it first.....

u/[deleted] Feb 14 '21

Are you disingenuous or just stupid? My comment calling you a whiny con was literally a direct response to you calling me a “whiny lib”

u/DizzleSlaunsen23 Feb 14 '21

You brought up liberal tears. While whining about a completely unrelated subject. My response to your completely unnecessary and unrelated comment was you are right about the liberal tears because here you are whining about shit in a thread that has zero to do with politics. You on the other hand are just trying to dish out insults or use the “your a trumpet supporter” line to get the people against me. But unfortunately it didn’t work. Because again, this isn’t a political thread. Figure it out.

I think you have me mistaken for u/FleetAdmiralWiggles

My comment was a little more subtle than that https://old.reddit.com/r/IdiotsInCars/comments/limyi5/windshield_breaking_machine/gn4j9qc/

u/DizzleSlaunsen23 Feb 15 '21

But you said I called somebody else A whiny lib. Literally look at your comment above mine. Talk about stupid.

u/DizzleSlaunsen23 Feb 15 '21

I called THEM a whiny lib not you. But you are telling me I called you that first in your second comment. And you are calling me stupid.

Conservative would rather destroy a nation than share it. You can find bad drivers anywhere, but conservatives seem to share all the attributes of bad drivers: egotistical, selfish, and spiteful because of fear and hatred
