Legal Question in Traffic Law in Georgia
What exactly is the law in Georgia about cracked windshields? What does it truly mean for the crack to be within your "field of vision"?
1 Answer from Attorneys
The law does not mention field of vision. See below:
O.C.G.A. 40-8-73 (2010)
40-8-73. Windshields and windshield wipers
(a) No person shall drive any motor vehicle with any sign, poster, or other nontransparent material upon the front windshield, side windows, or rear windows of such vehicle which obstructs the driver's clear view of the highway or any intersecting highway.
(b) The windshield of every motor vehicle shall be equipped with a device for cleaning rain, snow, or other moisture therefrom, which device shall be so constructed as to be controlled or operated by the driver of the vehicle.
(c) Every windshield wiper upon a motor vehicle shall be maintained in good working order.
(d) No opaque or solid material including, but not limited to, cardboard, plastic, and taped glass shall be employed in lieu of a glass windshield or window.
(e) No motor vehicle shall be operated with a windshield or rear window having a starburst or spider webbing effect greater than three inches by three inches.
