Is driving with a cracked windshield illegal?
I was driving the other day when a pebble made a slight crack in my windshield. It doesn’t really obscure my view or anything, but my friend said it was illegal. Is it really illegal to drive with a slightly cracked windshield?

Driving with a cracked windshield is never a great idea, but it’s not illegal as long as it doesn’t obstruct your view or pose a danger to other motorists.
In most cases, a slightly cracked windshield won’t cause you to get a
citation or ticket
. However, each state has its own laws and regulations. Make sure to consult your state’s DMV website or give the DMV a call to see what the laws are regarding your windshield.The wind might not come through your windshield when it’s cracked, but your money can fall through your fingers if you don’t use the
