windscreen pitting

[monkeydave]

i just discovered another pit mark on the windscreen to add to the collection, i never had this problem with the 2004 civic i had and the chips on the bonnet paint too

i really cant see myself getting another jazz when i upgrade if it is the same with the mk3, prob go for a kia rio or yaris instead

how many of you have lots of pits off the motorway?

Any modern small car without much of a bonnet and a big screen (ie pretty much all of them) will suffer from stones hitting the screen because there is nothing to stop them. Add to this the modern trend not to fit mudflaps and the short rear overhang of modern cars (a wheel at each corner) and you have a recipe for throwing stones up all over the place.

Country lanes can be as bad as motorway,  I keep a distance back from vehicles in front on B roads because if a car comes the other way and the car in front of you pulls over to left  their wheel can pick up all sorts of missiles from the edge of the road.

and it doesn't help when they cut back in less than a cars length after an overtake

It is sometimes the car coming towards you which has flicked up the stone and leaves it in their slip stream.
