Smashed windscreen - Could I drive it?!



  Arctic 182
So this happened yesterday,

The hole is about the size of a 5p coin. I've popped some clear mastic in the hole to keep the rain out & had a Hoover ETC. Sketchy details about the law & if a crack obstructs the view of the driver. But if I take it easy & stay at 40mph could I drive it?

I've got work tomorrow & auto glass can't come until Sunday. I don't use the motorway, mainly B roads (maybe a2 if I go to the gfs) I can leave it on the drive if need be but you know what it's like when you need the car!
Cheers.

It's risky, if you went through a bump or pothole it could give at any time.

Yeah that's true, the roads round here are terrible as well. Plus cup suspension & springs doesn't make for the smoothest of rides!

Actual lol at that gally, giggling like a a schoolgirl here!! Like a glove :D
 
it will be fine to get to home or work so you can get it sorted , it won't smash into peaces or fall out its a modern tough laminated screen .

As the cracks are in your field of vision its an mot fail though :)

I got it home from after it happened yesterday mate, it seemed ok but I'm not sure if I can take the piss & keep driving it! Probably best to leave it on the drive though & avoid any aggro or a tug from old bill!

Another question as I am stupid & didn't think in my OP; what are the black circles at the very top of the screen? I'm not sure if it's a sensor of some kind because cup & there's nothing to sense lol.

Thanks for the opinions guys but I'm probably gonna leave it on the drive, I've got lifts for work sorted now!
I was behind some big truck thing & something flew out & hit me. I tried to look behind the mirror, like move it to see & it went pop!

If you get pulled, talk polish! (Apologies of you're polish)

Seriously, if you're not happy, don't drive it!

Me sorry me no speak English ;)
As tempting & depressing as it is, I know I can't drive it. Gotta wait for auto glass to pull their finger out!
