Waiuku woman Fiona McAllum was on a similar section of the state highway when a loose rock blasted into her windscreen. "I got a huge response - 121 [replies] at this stage and some of the posts were about multiple windscreen damage. I feel for people who don't have windscreen insurance or car insurance - they must be hurting like hell." "Last week I got three chips in my windscreen - brand new windscreen - from one direct trip from Tairua to Thames. "So we're seeing an increase in roading now with seal being dropped and what-have-you, which obviously is contributing to more windscreens getting damaged."
