One accident in a laboratory, one on the road and one in the courtroom turned windscreens from dangerous optional extras to critical motor safety components.

Potholes are always a pain for motorists, especially after a long winter when bad weather will take its toll on road surfaces. But the situation looks worse this year than it has been for a long time.

In 2018, car manufacturer Ford released a video showcasing a revolutionary type of car window that allowed blind & partially sighted people to “feel the view”.

The most obvious sign that your car glass will need repairing is a chip or a crack on the glass, but there are other signs of imminent failure you mustn’t miss.

Windscreen repairs are becoming more popular over windshield replacement as it helps drivers help the environment and have a positive impact on climate change.

Driving in snow and ice requires a lot more thought and consideration, including making sure the windscreen is properly clear, to remain safe on the road.

Given that frozen windscreens are one of the greatest sources of damage to car glass, an early innovative heating system took time for drivers to warm up to.

People are becoming more aware of the global waste crisis, which is why many want to cut the amount of glass rubbish they produce when replacing windscreens.

Don’t make cold days harder by needing to get the windscreen replaced just because you failed to de-ice your car the right way and caused cracks in the glass.

If your plans for 2024 include a great road trip somewhere in the UK, you will need to make sure your car is maintained, including glass chip repair work.
