Can you drive with a cracked windshield?
I have had a small crack in the top of my windshield for about six months. It hasn’t gotten any bigger but I’m so worried it’s going to shatter while I’m driving. Can you drive with a cracked windshield?

Yes, you can drive with a cracked windshield but it’s wise to repair the crack ASAP.
Car windshields are made of laminated glass, including a plastic layer between two layers of glass. This is also known as safety glass because it reduces the risk of injury during an accident.
You can drive for years with a small crack in your windshield. But the safest solution is to get a DIY epoxy repair kit and fix it yourself. This will stop the crack from spreading and give you peace of mind on the road. If the crack is any longer than three inches, you should call a technician and get their opinion about replacing the entire windshield.
