A Cracked Windshield May Pose a Safety Hazard
A cracked windshield may not seem like a major problem, but it could turn out to be a serious hazard over time. It’s quite easy to end up with a crack or chip from flying stone or other debris. A comprehensive auto insurance policy might not only cover you for damage from an accident, it can also cover the repair of a cracked windshield.
A small crack in your windshield may spread, and eventually obstruct your view, making it difficult for you to see pedestrians, cyclists, and other vehicles. This could lead to an accident, and a claim on your insurance. If your windshield is already compromised and you are involved in a collision, the windshield is also more likely to shatter. The windshield also contributes to the overall structural strength of your car, which is critical in an accident.
It is important that you have your windshield repaired or replaced if it becomes chipped or cracked in order to avoid a more serious situation. It is vital that the structural integrity of your car is maintained and your view of the road is unobstructed, so that you may reduce your risk of an accident and a claim on your auto insurance policies.
