Your car windscreen is not only a screen of glass between you and other motorists, it plays an important safety function and is part of your car's structural design. Unfortunately, windscreen maintenance and repair is often neglected.
Windscreen and car safety
The windscreen plays a structural role in your car, adding to the safety features of your vehicle. Below are few points which elaborate how the car windscreens protect you:
- Your windscreen add strength to your car helping to prevent your car from collapsing in case of an accident.
-
Modern cars featuring airbags use windscreens as support surface against which the airbag inflates, ensuring that it is properly positioned. A badly fitted windscreen may pop out when the airbag inflates, making both the airbag and windscreens useless in an accident.
-
A dirty or damaged windscreen can blur the vision of the driver, causing eye strain or fatigue, which can all contribute to slower reaction time and risk of accidents.
Windscreen maintenance
Keep a regular check on your windscreen to make sure it is not cracked or scratched, so it will not impair your vision while driving. A chip does not always mean to get your whole screen replaced. Often a windscreen can be easily and effectively repaired before the damage worsens.
If you have a cracked or chipped car windscreen, get it repaired at Quality Windscreen in Australia as soon as possible. Because if left unattended, the chip may spread into a crack and your windscreen will have to replaced, which is a lot more expensive. Specialising in mobile windscreen replacement and repairs for cars, truck, heavy machinery, they are currently servicing from the Gold Coast to Tweed Heads and Yatala to Brisbane.
