Is it worth claiming for windscreen replacement?

Claiming on your insurance for windscreen replacement may be worth it if:

• Your policy includes windscreen cover
• Your excess is much lower than paying privately
• The windscreen includes sensors, cameras or heating that increase replacement cost

Tip: Compare your excess with the full replacement cost before claiming. Some insurers treat windscreen claims separately (so your no-claims discount stays intact), while others may raise your premium at renewal. Always check your policy first.

Is it legal to drive with a cracked windscreen?

Driving with a cracked windscreen can be considered a motoring offence. You must not drive your car if:

• The crack is in the driver’s direct line of vision (Zone A) and over 10mm
• The crack is elsewhere on the windscreen and over 40mm
• Visibility is impaired in any way

What happens if you keep driving with a cracked windscreen?

Along with the safety risks, driving with a significant crack can result in:

• MOT failure
• Being charged a serious motoring offence
• Insurance complications if an accident occurs

That’s why it’s best to get a replacement or repair booked in as soon as possible.

Can a cracked windscreen be repaired instead of replaced?

Yes, a repair can sometimes be possible if:

• The chip is smaller than a £2 coin
• It’s not in the driver’s direct line of sight
• It’s not on the edge of the windscreen
• The structural integrity isn’t compromised

For anything else, you’re looking at a full replacement to ensure safety and MOT compliance.
