QuestionInsurance Question  I have no front windshield in my car that has been parked for over a month now and I need to drive it. Will I get a ticket for driving my car that has no windshield?

AnswerAuto Insurance Answer

Yes, you are likely to get a ticket if stopped by police for driving without a windshield.

Though state laws differ most states have a law requiring a front windshield to be in place in an automobile for safety reasons. Most states in fact require a windshield and working windshield wipers.

For example Illinois law does not allow a person to drive a car with a windshield, side or rear window that is needs to be repaired or is defective in that it impairs the driver's view to the front, side or rear.

If you need to drive your vehicle to have the windshield repaired or for anther reason then you should check with your state's Department of Motor Vehicles to find out if this is against the law in your state and what the penalties might be if you are stopped.

Hopefully the DMV will advise you of other options you may have instead of driving your car without a windshield since this poses safety issues such as items flying into your car and possibly injuring you, the driver.
