Me, too. I got hit by a pebble coming off the elevated EZPass lane on 495 north of Tysons. Had to have the entire windshield replaced before long. I’ve been hit a few other times on the same stretch. Was before the current construction began. I think it has to do with the design of the pay lanes.

Nope I leave plenty of distance and it happens a lot from cars in adjacent lanes

Pebbles on 66 from construction cracked our windshield on two separate occasions. We hate 66.

Not OP, but I am not following too close and am in a small SUV. Right after I got the SUV in 2019 I got a pebble ding in the windshield almost immediately. Got that one fixed and promptly got another one. Each time on 95, and the chips are on the passenger side.

495 is being resurfaced right now, yes?

Is it just me or are the small pebbles getting worse? Every time I drive on 495 now my windshield gets pelted by small rocks kicked up by cars. I got a sizable crack a few weeks ago that needed to be filled.
