John, I had an example of that yesterday while hauling grain. Gravel roads 
but its a good wide grid road and traffic can really fly if they want to. I 
always slow down meeting vehicles hoping to save my own windshield from 
stones. This oncoming pickup and trailer were really cruising leaving a 
cloud of dust in spite of a couple of inches of rain the evening before. I 
had slowed down to 25 mph and pulled well over but was still showered with 
stones by this *#* $ truck. A heavily loaded half ton and low bed trailer 
riding so low that it must have been dragging on the gravel in places and 
showering stones everywhere. Guess he was on the way to a fire or something. 
Thank goodness nothing hit my windshield or radiator but I could hear the 
stones bouncing of my nice shiny 36 year old grain truck and that just made 
my day.
