Truck vs paper cup

[BryanP]

This is a funny one. I read an article about a truck being hit in the windshield by a paper soda cup thrown by another driver. The windshield was totally smashed.
Curiously , it seems some time ago the Myth Busters tried a similar experiment and it worked.
Can you believe that?
I wonder if a truck accident lawyer could use that in court. LOL

We don't do hypotheticals.

Yes, if the thrower was identified he could theoretically be held liable in court.

if they could get the mythbusters people in court to testify, then yes their work may be accepted. Not in court? No, likely not (like 99.99% not).

I drive all over the mid west and east coast. I get a few cracked windshields each year. TN is the worst for uncovered trucks dropping gravel, which gets tossed around by all the traffic.
