Whether you are traveling clear across the country or just down the road to the grocery store, driving a vehicle with a cracked windshield is dangerous.
You may think that a small crack is harmless, but seemingly minor points of weakness in a windshield can turn into major problem. A cracked windshield is not safe for you or your passengers.
A crack in the windshield creates a variety of safety issues:
- The roof can cave in due to lack of support from the windshield.
- The windshield can shatter (even in a small fender bender).
- Glass can expand and shatter due to weather changes.
- The windshield serves as a back support to the airbag.
- The windshield offers additional support to the seatbelt.
