    I’ve nearly been bricked by a crazy and/or violent person while driving. Twice, actually. I can tell you with certainty that this will cause people to slow and potentially invite a wellness check. Bricks have so much utility.

      Years ago somebody threw a brick off an overpass and shattered my Dad’s windshield while he was on the highway. He drives for a living so he was able to maintain control but it could have easily killed him and others.

        There was a horrific video from years back of dashcam footage where a family was driving down the highway and a brick flew through their windshield, killing the wife in the passenger seat instantly. I can’t imagine going through that much trauma as a family.

          That one is fucking haunting. At least nobody threw that one though, it fell off of a truck heading in the opposite direction. Makes you realize how much we have to just trust that everyone around us on the highway has their shit together.
