This morning when going to work, I was on the highway in a nice & fluid traffic.
I was probably doing in the 60 mph, nothing too fast.
Suddenly I saw the minivan in front of me run over something on the ground and
that projected it in the air.
That looked like a foot-long piece of solid, maybe wood or similar.
And it landed. On the hood.

And bounced back. On the windshield.

And finally bounced back somewhere else.
The whole thing lasted 2 seconds and now I need a new windshield and 5 days of
body shop on the hood.
I guess it could have been worse.
But, damn, that windshield was barely 4 month old!
Thinking about it later, my reaction had been to do absolutely nothing
and in fact it was the right one -- there was traffic all around me, there was
no escape pattern to avoid it. |
