There aren't lumps of concrete or rocks just lying around on overpasses. Someone has to make a conscious decision to take a projectile onto the overpass, with the express intention of heaving it through someone's windscreen. Therefore, it CAN'T be a spur-of-the-moment decision... I was lucky - never had it happen to me while I was driving... a mate of mine wasn't so lucky... but survived.

Just remember not to push the clutch all the way in and if you get muddled stop and start again. Once you get the hang of it it’s easier than synchro.
