Default How close!!!!!

Pulled this out of the front of the car today.



my mrs and our four kids were driving along the a14 minding there own when a truck going the other way decided to dump his shit all over the road, the rock flew over three lanes into my car, any higher and it could of hit the windscreen.
A rock that size in the face at 70?



a message for all you truckers sort your shit out for fuck sake.

i feel for you mate. really scary stuff. this happened to me, same thing, rock came off a tipper, through the screen, between the front headrests, hit and tore the roof lining and landed on the back seat, right where my lads child seat would normally have been. the rock was stuck between the rear wheels, then catapulted it out.
someone was looking over you and your family. glad your all ok.

Sorry to hear you had the same happen mate as you said very scary.
Just makes you think the very things you love the most in life can be taken away at any time and there's nothing you can do about it.

As said glad you're all ok, could have been so different ie if it had hit the screen at head height.
Hopefully with cameras being turned off we might get more police on the road to catch these w*****s.

Bugger me, lucky escape!

A few years back an iron bar rolled off the side of a flatbed lorry and hit the side of my car, I had the drivers window open too, proper bum clenching moment!
