Kind of an odd one, I have fully comp insurance, is it possible to claim off this for damage caused by gritters? I was basically shot blasted by a gritter on the M6 the other month and its going to cost a significant amount more than my excess to put right (hell its going to cost more than my entire policy lol).
Claiming gritter damage off insurance?

Quite possibly, it was doing ~50 in the middle lane and when my headlights illuminated the grit the size of it looked more like driveway gravel than stuff you should be spraying on mass onto a motorway at speed

Upload some pictures of the damage.
Were you warp factoring up the outside lane? Anything can do damage with enough speed.
You'd have a hard time proving it if no one else has come forward.

You need to decide if the cost of the repairs is worth having an increase in insurance premium for the next few years.
It's a claim and it's unlikely you're going to get the third party to confess all so you have a "non-fault" claim.
But as for claiming - that is what insurance is there for.

What kind of person does that?

No better than somebody intentionally keying a car. Despicable behaviour.
I wish you hadnt told me that..
Next time I see the local gritter go past I might drag him from it and pebble dash his face
Seriously though, only a total Be11end would do that to cars
