Check your windscreen

As the colder weather approaches, a simple chip in a windscreen can easily escalate into a crack.

 

Driving with a cracked windscreen is a safety issue for you, and can be considered a motoring offence, and if you are involved in an accident, it could be seen as your responsibility because you were driving with a damaged windscreen.

 

Current supply chain issues the industry is experiencing, could also result in delays in getting your windscreen replaced. Spotting a chip early on and having it repaired, is much easier and quicker, so think prevention!

 

Check your windscreen, and immediately report any damage using the Driver App and arrange to have it repaired.
