A warning about broken or cracked auto glass
A minor cracked windshield is pretty much all the warning that there is for drivers. It can crack at any time and it would not require an accident. Yes, it has been reported that windshield glass just shatters courtesy speedy winds. Driving at over 100 miles on a highway can break windshield glass if it is already cracked as the cracks temper with the aerodynamics of the windshield making it more air resistance rather than supporting flow of air above and around it. Auto glass repair becomes a priority task as soon as first crack appears on the glass.
A Line of Defense, your windshield and car windows help keep you safe
30% of car weight is born by windshield in situations that demand it to. When a car flips over or faces a sharp impact from an accident, the windshield is able to stand 30% of the force coming from momentum in case of accident and weight from flipping over. A fit windshield provides support to pillars and roof of vehicle giving just enough time for the passengers to safely evacuate. Cracked windshield compromises these chances and hence should be immediately replaced, or at least auto glass repair needs to be done.
Windshield Replacement versus Auto Glass Repair, what should you get for your car?
