It is illegal to drive with a cracked windscreen. Windscreens protect the passengers in the car from flying debris that could potentially cause injury in an accident. They are often made out of tempered glass, which means that a car glass window can withstand high levels of impact without shattering. The law states that the windscreen should be free from any cracks or chips. When there are cracks or chips on the glass, you can’t guarantee the safety of your passengers in an accident. Why not contact a local windscreen repair company?

Windscreen chip repairs are fairly easy to do, usually the only criteria that needs to be met is for it to not be too large or positioned in the line of sight of the driver. If the glass is broken, it cannot be fixed, and a replacement is needed. A damaged or weakened windscreen is at risk of being blown out when a car’s airbag deploys on impact.

A windscreen can be repaired if.

• Fixing the damage to the windscreen will not reduce the safety of the vehicle should there be an accident.
• The crack is shorter than a xxxx R1 coin and is not in the line of vision of the driver.
• The outer layer of the windscreen is all that was damaged.
• Repairing the damage will not cause it to be unsafe in case of impact or collision.

• Damage to the glass is more extensive than what can be seen on the surface
• You can see a notable separation of the laminate bonding layer at the site of the required repair.
