Yep, part of driving, mine has rarely been busted by someone going the same way, as the rocks are actually going that way too, I do not like them hitting the shoulder though. Around here a busted windshield is just a part of life, and I have replaced a lot of them, luckily truck windshields are cheap and relatively easy to replace.
If my window gets a rock chip from a tractor passing??

My last big rock punched my COE steel door panel under my window on the drivers side. Left a bare metal dent about 5 inches wide and a inch deep, my side window was up so it did not get shattered. The company repainted it, pulled dent and fixed the internals and I was good to go to work the next day.
What you do always without fail is check the bridges above your travel lane make sure you do never pass under anyone where possible. Once in a while cinder blocks fall from up there into your face. Ending your life and maybe that of others.Intothesunset Thanks this. -
