Hit some motorway debris :-( - daiking
As per title hit a large board on the M6 J32ish about 6pm made a mess of the front of my car. Is it worth reporting the debris in the road or is it a bit late? Its probably been battered off the motorway anyway.

Also when in busy motorway traffic doing 70mph and driving reasonably (2 secs apart) how can I avoid this type of thing in future? (without doing 50mph and leaving half a mile to the car in front)

No guarantee. Debris is the worst motorway hazard especially for press-on drivers.

That said, a car running over a brick in the road at 35 can toss it through the windscreen of the car behind.
