What about my cracked windshield?

A crack or chip is okay if it's < 19mm in size (3/4"). Yours is much larger than than. Hidden =/= okay.

You'd be cited.

 

Threre's a definite regulation for windshields, try a search on "Windshields" - I've seen it posted before.

Not yet at a terminal or somewhere you can get it swapped out?

 

Texas DOT told me that if the chip or bullseye is outside the wiper blade coverage area, it's generally not going to be considered a violation.

They might mention it but not write you up for it.

 

4 inches from top or bottom or sides. is the safe zone.

14 inches however might be a different story.

I asked the very same question and someone posted the reg.

when company says your ok. I tell them I don't want the csa and neither does the company. they usually change there tune.

 

Yep. I got stopped am Texas for a bullseye that the company said was OK. That's what the trooper used as his probable cause. Gave me a roadside level 2

 

If you want it changed, just encourage it to grow before you hit the yard, a long crack is certainly a violation.

 

It is a violation, on the other hand DOT rarely if at all cares if it's outside your line of view. I pass 2 level 2 inspections with 2 cracks, one on the top at the middle doing an L shape about 7-8 onches going down and 5-6 on base of the L, and rhe second doing an S starting on the driver button corner about 10-15 inches, the two DOT officers that saw it didn't even mention to me or nothing.

 

i believe its 4 inches from the top or the bottom your safe and other than that rock chips must be able to be covered by a quarter.

i would look it up for you but honestly too lazy at the moment, its spelled out in the regs if you wanted to look it up
