That's a nasty rock pit. It's a bad feeling when you see a rock bouncing straight toward you and there is nothing you can do but hope it misses your windshield. Drivers complained for years about the gravel trucks on the 605 freeway in L.A. The state finally forced them to cover the beds tightly with a canvas tarp and install improved gravel guards for the rear wheels. That helped a lot. You'll never get the trucks banned because commerce generates revenue and revenue generates taxes. The guvvies care more about that than your pitted windshield. |
