    Even if you can remove the windshield (ie: Jeep Wranglers) if you are caught on the road with it down, you are gonna get a ticket.

    Except for motorcycles, right?

      Motorcycles arent cars and arent treated as such. But anyone thats driven one knows how shitty it is to drive one with no protection on your face. Even a juicy bug at 70 mph doesnt feel awesome.

            You can drive with a cracked windshield. I don’t think you know what you’re talk about.

            49 CFR 393.60©

            © Windshield condition. With the exception of the conditions listed in paragraphs ©(1), ©(2), and ©(3) of this section, each windshield shall be free of discoloration or damage in the area extending upward from the height of the top of the steering wheel (excluding a 51 mm (2 inch) border at the top of the windshield) and extending from a 25 mm (1 inch) border at each side of the windshield or windshield panel. Exceptions:

            (1) Coloring or tinting which meets the requirements of paragraph (d) of this section;

            (2) Any crack that is not intersected by any other cracks;

            (3) Any damaged area which can be covered by a disc 19 mm (3⁄4 inch) in diameter if not closer than 76 mm (3 inches) to any other similarly damaged area.

              Windshield regulations are also done at the state level.

              I’m not really interested in getting into a giant pedantic argument about the specific crack conditions you can and can’t drive with. It’s not really even the point nor is it what I stated (and let’s be serious you know what was meant). And if it makes you sleep better, whatever, you win. Your a DOT genius.

              As to the windshield question. I have gotten multiple tickets for it, in my younger years when I would muck around in my shitty jeep wrangler. But im not really that invested to go digging through all the intracacies of DOT, nhtsa and state laws on the matter. Because I don’t really care.

              Have a good day
