In Yeni Boğaziçi, vehicle damage can begin when loose road material is projected backwards by a vehicle travelling ahead.

The risk becomes more visible on long, straight road sections where cars maintain a steady pace behind commercial vehicles, pickups and construction traffic.

The road appears clear.

The damaging object becomes visible only after it begins moving.

At 17:30, a vehicle travels through Yeni Boğaziçi.

A pickup vehicle moves ahead in the same traffic line.

Its rear wheels pass over loose stones collected near the road edge.

One stone is projected backwards.

The following driver hears a sharp impact against the windscreen.

A small mark appears near the lower passenger-side section.

The vehicle continues normally.

Later, a thin crack begins extending from the original impact point.

The visible damage may initially appear limited to a small chip. However, vibration, temperature change and normal body movement can cause the affected area to expand across a larger section of the glass.

The defining factor is not speed alone.

It is the combination of loose material, tyre movement and limited distance between the vehicles.

The local damage sequence is usually consistent:

Loose material remains near the traffic line.

A vehicle ahead passes over it.

A stone is projected backwards.

The following vehicle’s windscreen is struck.

A small chip forms.

The damage becomes more visible later.

In Yeni Boğaziçi, the driver may see the vehicle ahead clearly throughout the journey and still have no practical opportunity to avoid the projected object. The stone may travel below the normal forward line of sight before rising towards the glass.

The position of the impact mark, the direction of the crack and the surrounding glass condition may help distinguish a recent stone strike from older stress or edge-related damage.
