Since posters mentioned about Altimas come to think of it a lot don’t have a straight panel on them it’s kind of like a big bumper car

If you see a car with a banged up front or back bumpers or fenders and he speeding zigzagging all over they have nothing to lose. Too many of those out here ..

I think you have hit on something there ---

Totally AMAZING how much white smoke come out of an open car window, when someone is VAPING inside the car.

If they do NOT have a windows fully open, I would imagine that the car gets so full of white smoke, that they cannot see out --- could explain a lot !!!
I believe it’s referred to as their “cloud” LOL

So when they reverse, they "Backup their Cloud" ?
and when they hit another car, they "Crash their Cloud"
etc, etc

It all make so much sense now :doh:

in my day that was called "hot boxing" but it generally applied to weed, not idiot vapers.

This. If I see one in front of me, I either go around as quickly as I can or back way off. Like it or not, they are going to be there. Sure, they should be mandated to have covers/flaps etc, but that won't help everything. Wouldn't be the first time I either drive below the speed limit or just suck it up and exit to not have to deal with the fallout.

If you where in New York there would be 5 car’s in that space
then those 5 cars would be your safety net and would get their cars screwed up instead of yours, they also would have committed an illegal pass in a school zone and had to be speeding to get in front of me.

Nope, on the freeway, that's primary bounce distance for shit to fly out of the truck, off the pavement, and crack my windshield. :-/

What I hate is when a semi blows a tire and the tread flies off heading in your direction. I had that happen to me on the freeway and there was a long distance between me and that semi but man do those treads fly fast through the air. At the time I was driving a Kia Soul and the tread hit the front bottom of my car and went under. Ended up having to do some minor repairs around the radiator cause it broke some of the plastic around the radiator. But boy was I scared.
Another time I ran over a tire tread with my 2017 Civic Hatchback Sport and did some minor damage to the right front bumper.
Though I have seen a few ladders on the freeway in the past too.

I too got damage from a retread on my 04 Tiburon GT. I had for 5 months some damage to the front end and had to go through my insurance which was a pain in the ass

I had a rock roll off a cement truck and take a chunk out of my hood on a previous car. I called the company immediately with the truck # and they paid to repaint my hood. A lot of states require you to cover your loads as well. I don’t know the fine details.

This is another good reason to use a dash cam. In most states it's illegal not to tarp your loads. Get their plates and report them. The companies are not going to care unless it hits their pocketbooks.
