    Sorry but rocks in the road picked up and flung by the duals is not something a driver can stop and inspect for, I get rocks flung at me by dump trucks and cars ahead of me sometimes ......

    It is if they're coming out of the bush or a quarry. Big difference between a pebble off a gravel box and 10lb rock coming out from between the tires.

    Keep them covered up.

    There is enough distracted driving as it is.

    You said it was something you couldn't stop and inspect for. It’s something you should stop and inspect for in a lot of cases, before you drive out on the paved road with a big rock between your tires and kill somebody with it.

    If you're already on the paved road is what im talking, not a dirt road, and a rock is in the road, are you gonna stop in the highway to inspect??? You clearly didn't understand my comment so here it is again....if you're driving on the Interstate and a Rock is picked up by the tires and flung that is something you can't stop to inspect because you're traveling at highway speed genius....hello !!!
