I made a meme/gif just for you:

The rock was in the air and the driver ran into it. It's your fault as the driver you could had avoided it. Need to swerve more. We need rock sensors. Hummm , I need to get to work on my new invention.Lol. It's because you were WAY too close for rocks to reach the windshield.
I may have to get a deflector for the next time. Got a chip this morning, going to safelite at 2Weird, considering in the other thread mentioned by OP, one guy installed a hood deflector and said it was night and day (amount of bugs on the windshield). Also Ford says it deviates rocks from the Windshield. I guess it depends at what height and angle the rock is hitting but it could for sure help in some cases
Just replaced one on my wife’s Forester, it was $1159.Wow just looked up Safelite's replacement cost.
Parts and labor $664.99
Recalibration of windshield $395.00 Due to sensors/ cameras.
$1,059.99
There are plenty of other explanations.I think its tailgating and driving technique. There is no other explanation.
This fits with my technique - of course, that just means you are driving into the oncoming car rocks that much faster!Another thing to do would be to follow the Ricky Bobby method. Just drive faster and around other cars. Dont be behind anyone. "If you're not first, its your glass"
Windshield replacement costs have definitely gone up - especially with all the calibration that has to happen now! That's the biggest downside, IMO, to windshield replacement. I had to replace on on my F-150 and my lane-keeping and collision avoidance was never quite the same...Wow just looked up Safelite's replacement cost.
