Bugger!!!!

Did a little road trip for a couple of days, and collecting a chipped screen as a memento.
I bloody hate the condition of our roads and the way the Roading Authorities use drivers as road rollers on new seal.
It does look repairable though. I'm getting a windscreen guy to do it on Monday.

I feel your pain. I hate chip-and-seal! Seal the roads! Chip the windshields!

It gets worse. Most of our roads are chip seal, about 10 - 15 years ago they got all eco friendly and started using a water based seal emulsion, now the roads melt at 25 C.

Chip & seal is bad enough; can’t imagine it being water based. Terrible.

Water based pot hole fill?! Jeez.............................

Try living in Phoenix. It's not uncommon to have your windshield replaced once a year.

Not quite, it's the heated liquid tar they spray before laying the chip. Contractors like it because it's cheap.

Stone chips or other projectiles?

Stone. We have a lot of gravel as landscaping. The small pieces get caught in tire treads and get flung out on the highway. That's also why PPF is a must here.

I used a water based pothole filler. Called Quik-rete center and a traffic cone. Worked great.

I've got pebbles instead of lawn here, but the driveway is concrete. Much safer.

Oh all our driveways are paved. I was referring to the rock landscaping along all the highways, streets, and yards.

OK, lots of quarrys around there then?
It beats paying for mowers

@LouG grass here would be dead in one summer with 115° F. Using granite rock prevents dust. God forbid we ever get a tornado the rock flying would shred everything. Full glass coverage is a must here as well as PPF.
