Years ago, I was driving down a four lane highway when a local dirtbag pulled up beside me and waved me over. I pulled over and he said that my vehicle had kicked something up and broke out his windshield. I looked, and it was broken-not just a pit or a crack, but an actual hole about 1" in diameter that went through the windshield. Suffice it to say that I was a bit skeptical that my vehicle had just kicked up something that had caused that much damage; I still suspect the guy was just looking for someone to buy him a new windshield (I was driving a brand new mini-van with intransits at the time).

I gave him my insurance info and turned it in myself. An adjuster called me and said that this is classified as "road hazard"; it is up to the insurance carrier of the vehicle that is hit with the object to pay. She said my deductible for glass in this situation was $50, if it had been my vehicle that had been hit. I doubt the other guy had insurance. I never heard back from the guy; the adjuster said she was going to call him and break (excuse the pun) the news to him.
