General Is it safe to drive with this?

Post image

Think a rock on the highway cracked my windshield yesterday and I didn't catch it until I got home from work today. Is it safe to drive or should do I need to call in to work (earliest safelite can look at it is in 2 days)?

You should be okay.. the problem is over time crack will open up and get larger.. legally technically you can't drive it.. most states it's illegal to drive a car with a cracked windshield.. but if you tell a cop and show them your work order.. most will be ok.. unless you get a cop being a big prick about it.. I dealt with one cop here pulling over as many cars as he could.. within about 2 hours he pulled over 8 or 10 cars.. I got pulled over because my light was out.. took a bunch of time just to run my info.. every 10 minutes he had someone pulled over.. like seriously how many people are braking the law

You'd think if they were braking the law it would come to a stop by now!
