What should be assured about the windshield during vehicle inspection?

The windshield must be crack-free and unobstructed to ensure the driver's visibility and safety. Cracks or obstructions in the windshield can significantly impair the driver's ability to see the road, other vehicles, and pedestrians, which increases the risk of accidents. Additionally, an unobstructed view is vital for properly utilizing the vehicle's safety and driver-assist features, such as cameras and sensors that may rely on clear visibility through the windshield. Therefore, ensuring the windshield is in good condition is a critical aspect of vehicle safety inspections.
