Eynon, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/15/2019 -- Auto Glass Fitters, the leading mobile auto glass replacement in Lancaster County, is looking to inform Pennsylvania drivers about the windshield requirements enforced by their state. Although most people are aware of obvious laws, such as windshields cannot have large cracks running the length of the glass, not everyone knows that smaller damages could have ramifications as well.
Drivers who have windshield chips, cracks, or breaks need to beware that they could be breaking the law. Pennsylvania traffic laws mandate that windshields must be free of significant damage that could impair the driver's vision and, in turn, their ability to navigate the road. Large cracks, such as floater cracks, long cracks, and stress cracks, need to be immediately replaced (or repaired if the damage is small enough) as they are the most obstructive to one's ability to drive safely. However, even small chips, like a bullseye, half-moon, star break, or combination, could get a driver pulled over if they are on the driver's side of the glass. Any sort of glass etching is prohibited from being on the front windshield.
Other windshield laws drivers should be aware of include wiper workability and window tints. Wipers should be in good condition and free of any major tears that could leave behind streaks of water, which would obstruct the driver's view of the road, especially in heavy rain. Window tints are prohibited for every glass component in the car, including front and back windshields and side windows. Drivers should be aware that even if the police do not stop them for these violations, they could fail their yearly inspection as a result.
