Safety and your vehicle
There is a chip or crack in the windscreen right in front of the driver. What should you do?
- Cover it with a sticker and keep driving
- Leave it, as glass damage never matters
- Have it repaired, as it can block your view and get worseCorrect
- Spray water on it to hide the crack
Why?
Damage in the driver's line of sight can obstruct your view and may spread across the screen. Annex 6 of The Highway Code says windscreens must be kept clear and free from obstructions to vision, so have the damage repaired promptly.
