The trucks transporting the black rocks from Markman to the harbour in Gqeberha are really damaging vehicles.

On Thursday last week, there was a truck in front of me on the M4 and rocks fell and damaged my windscreen.

This morning, again, rocks fell and damaged my front left light.

I had pulled the truck over last week when the incident happened, took all the details and met the owner.

He then said, oh well, it could have been a random rock on the road and they, nor his insurance, could help me.

I honestly can’t put in a claim every week through my own insurance, as the co-payments would just be absolutely ridiculous.

What can I do?
