Can You Drive with a Shattered Rear Windshield? You can drive at low speeds, but avoid high-speed driving as it poses significant risks. Introduction to Windshields: Most vehicle windshields are laminated, consisting of an inner layer of tempered glass and an outer layer of laminated glass. If cracks appear only on the outer laminated layer, they can be repaired. Side and rear windows are made of tempered glass, which shatters entirely upon impact and is difficult to repair. Precautions for a Shattered Windshield: If cracks appear on the windshield surface, it is recommended to replace it. Front and rear windshields are particularly vulnerable during regular use. Stones kicked up at high speeds can easily crack the front windshield, so avoid driving behind semi-trailers or trucks when frequently traveling on highways.
