Anyone know how you go about claiming damages against 'motorway maintenance' lorries? I have dashcam footage of one dropping stones/dirt that then hit the front of my car and caused a few chips....nothing serioius but it could have been through the windscreen.

Unless you got the company name (as many of these are subcontractors) then youd need to go via insurance, aka not worth it.

There are at least two highway maintenance marked vans in every street of rented semi detached houses with corner sofas and 55 plate Vauxhall Vectras with black Wulfsport wheels. You have no chance.

It wasn't a gritter by any chance?
Stones / dirt dropped from the tailgate of a vehicle is a fairly normal hazard addressed by not driving too close to the vehicle in front. I have however seen a half brick expelled at speed from between the twin rear tyres of such a vehicle.

Trucks dropping debris from the back are usually worthy of being given a wide berth. Even if leaving the recommended 2 second gap, whatever is falling off shouldn’t be causing damage unless it is fist sized rocks.It wasn't a gritter by any chance?
