> "(a) It shall be unlawful for any person to drive any motor vehicle with any windshield so cracked or discolored as to impair the vision of the operator."
The law does not specify a specific size or location of the crack, but it does require that the damage be sufficient to impair the driver's vision. If a police officer determines that a cracked windshield does impair the driver's vision, they can issue a citation and require the driver to have the windshield repaired or replaced before continuing to drive.
In addition to the safety concerns associated with a cracked windshield, driving with a damaged windshield can also be a factor in a traffic stop or accident investigation. If a police officer sees a car with a cracked windshield, they may have reason to believe that the driver is not properly maintaining their vehicle and may be more likely to pull them over for a traffic violation.
To avoid potential legal issues and ensure your safety on the road, it is important to have a cracked windshield repaired or replaced as soon as possible.
