If you are catching spray, try to increase the follow distance between you and the vehicle ahead. Same deal for rocks in places where that is a concern. It can be hard to leave a big gap, for fear that someone will come into that gap, but you can't fix everyone, you can only fix you.

But, we also do have wipers for anything that happens during the current drive, not as good as not getting dirty in the first place, but better than staying dirty.

If there's a lot of traffic then increasing the distance every time someone fills in the gap, you'll soon be standing still hah. Not every issue can be fixed, just gotta wash it with windshield wiper fluid often

Late is better than calling insurance. Maintain distance.

[–] Saapas@piefed.zip 1 points 6 days ago

Maintain sensible distance for sure

I don't think stopping in the middle of a highway is a good idea

I don’t think driving a multi ton machine while blind is a good idea

You know you are arguing a lot about your right to drive blind. You might be a narcissist. You are arguing very clearly that if you hurt someone while driving blind it’s their fault.

Maybe you are just incapable of empathy. If you kill people bit you get to your destination quicker… that’s a Win.

Maybe you just suck?

Let me ask you this

You’ll get 1 million dollars but a new born infant will be skinned alive… do you take the money?

I think you need a breather, my friend

Fine enough for the car ahead of you but then there's the issue of oncoming traffic.

I would love to know why anybody would downvote this observation.

I guess some people can't imagine a 2-lane, opposed traffic route/rural highway. 🤷
