Why You Should Never Delay Replacing Your Windshield

When you’re driving around the Las Vegas area, it’s not uncommon to see people with cracked or severely damaged windshields.  While you might not think this is a big deal, driving around with a damaged windshield is extremely dangerous and it’s something that should be taken care of immediately.

Driving Around with a Severely Damaged Windshield Could Be Illegal

Federal regulations mandate that the center of the windshield is free of damage.  A single line crack can extend into this area, but it cannot intersect with another crack.  Multiple, intersecting windshield cracks always require windshield replacement and are deemed illegal by the federal government.

Cracked Windshields Are Dangerous

While you may be ok to drive for a short time with a cracked windshield, there’s no doubt that a crack causes your windshield to weaken, which can cause major problems in the event of an accident, or some other scenario where something strikes your windshield.  If you have a cracked windshield and your airbags deploy, the windshield is more likely to shatter on impact, which may send shards of glass flying your way resulting in bodily harm.

A cracked windshield can also drastically impair your vision, even if the crack is only on the passenger side of the car.  You never know when a windshield crack is going to grow and it could leave you in a situation where your vision is severely impaired while your traveling at a high speed, which could ultimately spell disaster.

A Windshield Replacement Doesn’t Have to Be Expensive

Many people put off windshield replacement because they’re worried about the cost. The reality is that many times, your car insurance will cover a windshield replacement with little or no out-of-pocket expense.  No matter the cost, there’s no reason to put off something that could cause you harm.
