this is plain ridiculous, but then, the way things go here is ridiculous. no clear cut laws, and people expect others to just bow down to what they say, especially if they call and "pretend" to be some form of authority. i say they can kiss my ass. dont pay them a cent inshala they take it to higher court. wel zag.

Sorry sam for responding so late, I didn't see your comment. But here is your answer:
If your insurance is third party, you are on your own.
If your insurance is comprihensive, then that would cover it, but usually you have to pay a the first BD 100 or so (depends on your policy) for each claim, so it might prove more economical to just fix it your self.
Again, if your windshield got hit by a poorly coverd vehicle transporting rubble or something, then they are liable. But road conditions, it just happens. Who will you sue if a rock tears your tire?

Same thing here.

This is 100% true. The winshield of my car cracked...

This is 100% true. The winshield of my car cracked while on the Sitra Highway last morning. Happened due to a pebble flying from under the wheels of a car in front of me.

It never struck me that I should go after that driver and lodge a complaint for a broken windshield! Now I have to cough up BD75/- to have it fixed and also cannot claim insurance!!

There has to be some allowance from Insurance companies in the policy - or isthere something now??
