As this amazing video shows, once you see what a simple wooden plank can do to a windshield, you may never drive again without 8-gauge steel armor and a periscope. You'll also remember why it's so ridiculously stupid to take camera phone video while driving.

A 2004 report from the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety found that vehicle-related road debris (VRRD), or material-vehicle parts or cargo-that's been been unintentionally discharged from a vehicle onto the roadway, causes an estimated 25,000 crashes per year and nearly 100 deaths. Supposedly, this gal got lucky and wasn't harmed.

But she's also an idiot of an unparalleled level for videotaping the road with her cell phone while she was driving.

Update: The driver's name is Wendy Cobb. We'll hopefully be talking to her in the morning.
