Can I drive on the highway with a cracked windshield?

It is not recommended to drive on the highway with a cracked windshield. When a vehicle is traveling at high speeds on the highway, the windshield is subjected to significant air pressure and wind resistance. The substantial pressure difference can cause the windshield to collapse. Although tempered glass does not shatter immediately and cause personal injury, a broken windshield at high speeds is extremely dangerous. Here are some precautions to take when driving on the highway: 1. Pre-drive vehicle inspection: Before driving, the driver should conduct a comprehensive check of the vehicle, with particular attention to various fluids, tires, the braking system, etc. Top up any fluids that are low to the appropriate levels; inspect the tires carefully and remove any debris from the tread. 2. Merging into highway traffic: When merging from the ramp into highway traffic, always yield to other vehicles, use turn signals, honk the horn, observe, and only enter the highway lane after ensuring it does not affect other vehicles. 3. Pay attention to highway signs: There are numerous signs on the highway, and failing to notice them can have very serious consequences.
