PUBLIC SAFETY ANNOUNCEMENT – WINDSHIELD SAFETY
Driving with a cracked windshield can mean more than a simple aesthetic flaw or minor annoyance. A cracked windshield is a safety risk to you and your passengers. Damage to your windshield may affect your ability to drive and how your vehicle may respond in a crash.
Impaired Vision
Depending on where it’s situated, the windshield crack may cause an obstructed view of the road or the driver’s surroundings. No matter where the crack is, it is likely that a driver will look at that spot to navigate through traffic. Cracks in the windshield can be large enough to cause a blind spot. Since reaction time is of the utmost importance while driving, a blind spot can cause you to strike another car, an animal or a person, crossing the road.
Airbag Deployment
When an airbag deploys, particularly a passenger side airbag, it strikes the windshield in many models. If a windshield is cracked, it may not be strong enough to withstand the sudden impact of the airbag from inside the vehicle. If the windshield fails, the airbag may not deploy properly, and the passenger could sustain unnecessary injuries.
Structural Weakness
The windshield can compromise the structural integrity of the vehicle’s cab if it is cracked. Windshields are designed to fit tightly into place and reinforce the stability of the car’s roof. According to ADOT, the windshield and the rear window play an important role in supporting the roof of a vehicle. If an automobile is involved in a crash and rolls onto its roof, a cracked windshield will make it easier for the weight of the car to collapse onto the seating area and the people in those seats. The thick windshield glass, without a crack, helps to reinforce the roof so that it stays in place when more force is added to it.
