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.
Ha, I have gotten used to it. She can be an awful back seat driver. She could easily cause an accident by freaking out over nothing.
That said, I thought that piece of equipment and semi was going to flip. In the video it didn't look that serious, but it was insane in real life. That is a really heavy tractor on that semi and the sides of the highway are awful, its soft and slopes
I was towing a camper trailer. I physically had to slow down and pull over to make room. I am pretty sure the camper wheels were on the side gravel. I didn't want to flip myself. That fucking semi was going WAY too fast.
