Wow, I didn't know that was a thing. Been driving nearly 30 years, and never had a windshield chip.
replyGrow up in a place where roads have gravel on the shoulders and are made using coarse-chip seal and you’ll get them regularly.
replyYeah, I imagine. I'm inner city.
replyDo you have a wood surface nearby? I would recommend giving it a good knock.
replyApparently I just live in a place where it's not a common problem. Also I do tend to leave a big gap behind cars in front.
replyThey salt your roads, or put grit?
replyThey don't do either of those things, and yet somehow I haven't witnessed any cars sliding off the road in winter either.
replyFrom everything you've said so far, it sounds like people in your area have a lot of sense.
replyAnother trick that works is just to let the windshield get cracked once. Then it will be immune to further rock strikes. Studies have shown that freshly replaced windshields are 937% more likely to be hit with a rock.
