At 4:10pm today (2022-10-12) on Cathedral Oaks at County Rd a man in his dark red truck did “donuts” in the dirt, blithely spraying traffic with gravel.
My car was hit by several rocks on the driver’s side. My windshield was cracked in two places. At least 6 other cars were present and probably sustained similar damage.
… Did you pull over to exchange insurance and/or call the police?
Edhat Reader: Not much you can do about it, but hopefully your insurance will pay for your new windshield. Whenever I see someone doing donuts and spraying gravel into the road I slow down and steer as far away from the flying debris as possible. If insurance does not pay for a new windshield, I’d recommend ‘Best Price Auto Glass’ in Goleta as they may have a used one in stock (or they can get one from an auto recycler).
At 35+ mph you would have avoided gravel spraying across the road? LOL, whatever you say.
Space dust lands on the Earth everyday and motorcycle police wear helmets. Please address the issue on display not yours.
That area is often inhabited by pickups and idiots selling defaced flags.
