Can You Drive Without Repairing Your Windscreen?

Windscreens are often overlooked by drivers when it comes to car maintenance. Although they perform an important job, most people don’t think that maintaining their windscreen is that necessary. However, the windscreen shields you from the natural elements when you are on the road and provides the visibility needed for seeing where you are going. If there is even a slight crack in the windscreen, it can inhibit your ability to see the road properly, which might result in an accident. Thus, windscreen maintenance is of utmost importance and shouldn’t be overlooked. Still, most car owners think that they can drive without getting their windscreen repaired. Let’s find out what exactly this can lead to..

Size and Location of the Chip or Crack

It all comes down to the size and the location of the chip or crack in the windscreen. If the size of the chip is large then there is no way that you can drive your car without getting the necessary windscreen repairs done. Moreover, if the location of the chip is in your line of sight, then again it is a risky move to keep on driving without getting your windscreen repaired. In both cases, leaving the crack or chip unrepaired can either result in an accident or cause the windscreen to become damaged further. So, no matter where the chip is located or how small it is, you should get it repaired as soon as possible before driving the car again.

Structural Integrity of the Car Frame

The windscreen is an integral part of your car frame. It provides solidity to the entire car structure. Thus, if there is a crack in the windscreen, it will affect the structural integrity of the entire car frame. Your car will become vulnerable because of the tiny chip or crack on your windscreen. As this crack expands, it will further affect your car’s frame, particularly its ability to withstand high impact damage. If you get involved in a car accident with a cracked windscreen, you can get severely injured as the car frame won’t be able to do its job of protecting you. Therefore, it is wise to get the chips or cracks in your windscreen repaired before they become a potential car safety issue.
