"2 weeks ago heading south on the motorway by Tristram turnoff travelling in outside lane at approx 100km/hr. A sheet of plywood came hurtling across the median barrier from the northbound lane. All I could do was duck as it hit the windscreen. To my amazement the plywood disintegrated on impact but the windscreen was intact and as I shakenly pulled across to the roadside to inspect the damage all I found were a few scratches on the bonnet and roof. There were pieces of wood littering the Motorway and traffic continued in both directions as if nothing had happened. I had no idea where the wood came from. I hopped back in the car and carried on over the Harbour Bridge thinking to myself that maybe Volvo's are as safe as they say they are - not even a flying sheet of plywood can shatter the windscreen. I went out and bought a Lotto ticket - unfortunately that wasn't so lucky."
