Hertz recently started implementing an AI–driven vehicle scanner that scans cars before and after rentals to check for damage and issue associated charges.
If you’re close enough to another vehicle on a gravel road that you’re getting stones flicked up, there’s no way that’s a safe following distance, especially considering the increased stopping distances.
I see you have never driven behind a pickup truck on a gravel road.
I have actually, for several years of my life, which is how I know it doesn’t cause that.
E: downvote this comment if you have never driven on a gravel road for several years.

gravel travels fairly far when the vehicles are going 50 mph
Vehicles also skid very far at that speed.
Have you tried not doing that?
It’s really as easy as not doing that.
