Wow, I didn't know that was a thing. Been driving nearly 30 years, and never had a windshield chip.

Grow up in a place where roads have gravel on the shoulders and are made using coarse-chip seal and you’ll get them regularly.

Yeah, I imagine. I'm inner city.

Do you have a wood surface nearby? I would recommend giving it a good knock.

Apparently I just live in a place where it's not a common problem. Also I do tend to leave a big gap behind cars in front.

They salt your roads, or put grit?

They don't do either of those things, and yet somehow I haven't witnessed any cars sliding off the road in winter either.

From everything you've said so far, it sounds like people in your area have a lot of sense.

Also we don't get snow.

Yeah, that would do it.
