Keeping Your Windscreen Safe

The majority of people frequently service their vehicles to ensure smooth operation.

No matter how long you’ve been driving, how well you know how to drive, or how frequently you maintain your car, some things, like damage to your windshield, are out of your control.

A cracked windshield is not only annoying and expensive, but it can also be very dangerous if it is in your line of sight.

It goes without saying that car owners don’t deliberately drive their cars into their windscreens, but glass can still break.

With the help of the following recommendations, you may rest easy knowing that you’re doing everything possible to safeguard your windshield.

Variable Temperatures

  • Glass makes up the entire windscreen.
  • When your car is in direct sunlight, the windscreen contracts or expands because the edges of the windscreen heat up more quickly than the centre.
  • This may result in a windscreen crack.
  • We advise that you make an effort to park your car in the shade at all times to prevent this from happening.
  • Additionally, right before summer is the best time to get your windscreen fixed if it has a small chip or two.
  • Because of the increased heat intensity throughout the summer, your windscreen is put under additional strain and could crack or chip more severely.
  • If it gets to this point, you would have to replace the whole windshield instead of just making a small fix.
  • Make sure you schedule the repair before summer arrives! Tserv offers free quotes.

Gravel

Your tyres may spin gravel into the air while you’re driving on loose gravel or any other kind of debris.

Your windshield can pick up a stone or piece of gravel if you’re driving too closely to the car in front of you, which might seriously harm your car.

Maintain Your Distance

The best safety measure is to maintain a safe distance from the car in front of you.

On highways as well as rural routes, slow down to provide some distance if you see loose gravel on the road.

Making room will give you more time to respond if you see loose gravel coming your way or will help prevent it from striking your car.

Check Who Is Travelling in Front?

Keep an eye out for the sort of vehicle in front of you, especially open-roofed semi-trailers or construction vehicles.

These kinds of vehicles can be very unsafe to travel behind and seriously harm your vehicle.

Most of the day, construction vehicles are at work sites, where trash, gravel, pebbles, and other dangerous objects can get stuck in the body and tyre cracks.

Your best course of action if you’re following a semi-trailer or construction vehicle is to slow down and make room for it, or, if you can, switch lanes as soon as it’s safe to do so.

Drive far away to protect the outside of your car and your windshield, and pay attention to what’s going on around you.

Poor Quality

If your windscreen is just constructed of cheap glass, even a little pressure can cause it to break or crack.

To prevent additional damage, make sure to have your automobile serviced by a professional and replace your windscreen right away.

Poor Repair Work

When it comes to car safety, the worst-case situation is if your windscreen was improperly mounted.

It’s possible that the windshield wasn’t put in right, putting you, your family, and other drivers in danger. In a clear area, speed up quickly and keep an eye on the windshield to make sure it is in good shape.

Look for a windscreen specialist in your area for repair or refitting if your windscreen is vibrating since it may have been installed incorrectly.

Pressure

Windscreens can crack as a result of sudden pressure shifts.

An abrupt change in speed, an explosion, or even pressure from something outside the car acting on the windshield could all be the culprits.

Your safety may be in danger due to these circumstances, which can result in stress cracks.

Drive at a steady speed, keep a safe distance from the car in front of you, and always pay attention to what’s going on around you.

Hail

Hailstorms that you can’t plan for can do a lot of damage to your car’s exterior and windshield.

Your windscreen may break or chip depending on the size of the hailstones.

Reduce your speed or even stop to decrease the impact if you’re unfortunate enough to be stuck driving or in an open place during a hailstorm.
