The Windshield: One of Your Vehicle’s Most Important Safety Features

We all want to be sure that we are driving in a safe vehicle. We consider our vehicle’s most obvious safety features, such as seatbelts, airbags, tire pressure, and tire tread. We all strive to ensure that these items are kept up to standard, both to prevent accidents from occurring, as well as to protect us to the full extent in the event of an accident.

However, one of the most overlooked, yet one of the most important safety features of your car, truck, or van is the one that is literally right in front of your eyes. Your vehicles windshield plays a vital role in the prevention of injury or death in the event of a collision and/or rollover. In fact, most automotive safety experts rank the windshield as the third most important safety component in your vehicle – directly behind seatbelts and airbags.
