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.
Your safe following distance on gravel at 50mph is more than that. 3 seconds is your minimum following distances on normal surfaces (used to be 2, advice has changed), you should have a 4 second following distance on gravel. https://www.drive-safely.net/safe-following-distance/
I see you have never driven behind a pickup truck on a gravel road.

I have had nicks in my windshield due to gravel thrown up by vehicles traveling in the opposite direction.
gravel travels fairly far when the vehicles are going 50 mph
Vehicles also skid very far at that speed.

Immediate downvote.
Have you tried not doing that?
It’s really as easy as not doing that.
