Got behind a garbage truck before that was dripping out the back. nasty! Also been sandblasted by a grain hopper on the interstate, backed way off from him!

Had a truck loose a piece of sheetrock in front of me... Ducked and it floated right over my head. (Think someone upstairs likes me.) I try not to ride behind any one hauling anything.

I was once behind this huge U-haul truck and I swear the guy was intentionally driving with the passenger wheels on the shoulder of the road to kick dust, dirt, and rocks up at me. If it wasn't intentional maybe u-haul should start making renters take driving lessons. I also get the window washer fluid alot. Hell it could be 3 cars in front of me and I still get sprayed with it.
