Stupid people!!!

Ok first off im not sure how many members drive their cars on gravel roads but i do so here's my problem... So pretty much eveyone knows that it is common knowledge that when your on a gravel road and are you are meeting a car to slow down to around 50-60 kph to prevent your car from flinging a rock at the passing car... but today i was on a gravel road and some C*NT in a half-ton went flying by me at like 120 kph and smoked my hood with a rock. I guess my point of this thread is people should use that grey matter between their ears a little more often.. Heres a pic below.

I see perfectly what you mean. I drove on a gravel road 2 weeks ago and some bastards are crazy on those. I was hardly goin 40 km/h just to prevent rocks from goin all over the car when ppl were passing by at 100 km/h with boats or caravans behind them. Tried to avoid them as much as possible goin as far right on the road as I could. I was lucky this didn't happened.

I've driven on gravel and dirt roads. I prefer the dirt roads. When I was on a gravel road, a car flung up a rock that hit the windshield. This was a company GMC Safari and the windshield had to be replaced. It absolutely sucks.

I learned the lesson of not doing 60mph on a dirt road. It's really hellish on your alignment.

That's a pretty odd place to be.

Either way I'd be pissed.

That sucks. I guess it's pretty safe to say that she would have no libility either

Wouldn't insurance cover that?

Sorry to hear that but unfoutunatly(sp?) that is just one of the risks of driving on a gravel road. I live on a gravel road and drive on it every day. I have never had a stone fly up and hit the windshield or chip the hood like that before. Any time I've really got hit with a stone it was one the highway (right now my trucks windshield looks like it's been through a war)...go figure.

Oooo! Nice! since i lowered my car i can no longer drive on gravel. in saskatchewan, they wait until the gravel rises up in the middle of the road until scapes the bottom of a half ton, then just level it until theres no gravel left. i have troubles when there arn't any ruts.

Ahhh yes, good ol SGI. I love the insurance out here. Personally I would just try to buff some of it out, yeah the dent will still be there but you can make it almost not noticable. Just get a buffer or some touch up paint. When you have that low of a deductible they jack the premiums up pretty quick.

That's actually 60km/hr... so about 35-40mph.

Okay ... I am stating right now that if you guys don't stop the pointless bashing/comments, I will give you guys warnings. I just spent 15 minutes of my lunch trying to salvage this thread so this will be the last time I say this ... Knock It Off!!!

and "you guys" know who you are
