An egg is different as it explodes if it hits your windshield.

I have driven 300,000+ miles, with no incident, since I began driving (I'm not very old, but still 300,000 miles isn't chump change). I have had lots of close-calls too, due to over drivers, as many have had. That hardly means one should surrender their license. In fact, imagine how much lower insurance would be if everyone could go that far with no problems.

If a bail of hay is coming at you, at least you know it's not gunfire. If it's an egg, you can't make a distinction that fast. At least you saw the bail of hay coming, even if only for a split second.

In my experience of being shot at, eggs striking an auto don't sound much like a bullet striking.
