I have seen those signs all around the country. Here is how that works in the real world. A truck, car, bus that picks up a rock from the roadway and it strikes your car - it's your baby, if you have comprehensive on your insurance. BUT if the rock (debris) comes from the body, frame, cargo area of the vehicle then that vehicle is responsible for damage. Now proving it is another problem.
