My windshield started out with a small crack and is spreading across within minutes .. is that normal? Should I not drive it ? How long til it gets completely worse wont be able to get fixed til next weekend
Thank you for your INformation.. I called Autoglass and they told me it was safe to drive around with a crack in my windscreen on the drivers side until it can be repaired in a week! They said it was perfectly safe. I wonder if they have read information?,.

STAA protection is also triggered if operating the vehicle would result in an actual violation of a DOT regulation (a cracked brake pad, for example). Again, you must make the company aware of the hazard and give them a chance to fix the problem before refusing to drive.
Can I drive after windshield replacement? Windshield replacement typically takes about an hour for installation. During the installation the technician uses a urethane adhesive to seal the windshield into place. The adhesive must be allowed to dry for at least one hour before you can drive away. After an hour the windshield can handle normal driving. However, the urethane is not secure enough to keep the windshield in place in the event of a collision for at least 8 hours, so drive carefully and go straight home, if possible. It is also recommended that you leave one window cracked at least one inch for eight hours, weather permitting.
Remember to be gentle with your auto glass, especially for the first 24 hours. Be careful not to slam car doors as this can shift the new glass. Avoid rough terrain and drive carefully over speed bumps. Leaving your car windows cracked is also a good idea. This keeps air pressure from accumulating and causing the windshield to leak.
Without a clinical exam and x-rays I cannot make that type of recommendation. Have a very skilled dentist look at you before making permanent decisions. If you would like to upload an x-ray you can uploaded to a public google drive that anybody with the link can view
