    [quote=[Deleted User];74550251]But AFAIK careless drVing can only be dealt with by a FPN if the driver is stopped at the time? So in the OP's case it would have to go to court.[/QUOTE]

    Who mentioned careless?

    Isn't Operation Snap only in Wales - or has it been extended over the whole of the UK?

    Council/Highways won't pay out for debris thrown up by another vehicle.

    Neither do insurance companies. You have no claim.
