What effects does a scratched windshield have?
Controls
Explanation
A **scratched windshield** can cause visibility problems, especially at night. This is because the scratches on the glass can scatter the light from other vehicles' headlights, creating a **glare** effect. This glare can make it difficult to clearly see the road and other vehicles, increasing the risk of accidents.
- It is important that all the vehicle's glass is **clean and in good condition** to ensure safe driving. A scratched windshield does not meet this condition, as it affects visibility.
- Additionally, the incorrect use of **windshield wipers** can scratch the glass. For example, if they are used when the glass is dry, they can cause damage resulting in scratches.
Therefore, a scratched windshield not only does not improve safety, but it **increases glare at night**, which can be dangerous for the driver.
