There is no answer because its a metaphorical question/phrase. So, is it better to be the bug or the windshield? I say its better to be the windshield, because you have have windshield wipers to wipe the guts off of the windshield...
Same thing that happens to a bug against your windshield.
Perhaps a bug on windshield.
What happens when you put windshield washer in the coolant in a Grand prix Pontiac
the same
In a collision both objects experience the exact same forces. The difference is the force threshold of each object. A hummer has a greater force threshold than a small car. The same idea is present when a bug hits a windshield. The bug hits the car with the same amount of force as the car hits the bug, but the bug has a much lower force threshold which is why it gets crushed.
Your windshield gets really greasy and you feel silly..
No, this is the same as those big trucks that say that they are not responsible if you are following too close, and a rock hits your windshield. If it happens, the other person is just SOL unless they have insurance that will cover it. The short answer is no. From the perspective of an insurance company this is seen as a road hazard or "Act of God" rather than an act of negligence and is covered if you have comprehensive coverage.
