BROKEN GLASS: REPAIR OR REPLACE?

Your windscreen is the barrier between you and the road. Be sure to keep an eye out for any chips, cracks or damage.

When it's icy cold, try not to pour hot water on your windscreen. It can crack the glass. Use your car's heater instead. And to avoid ice in the first place, keep your windscreen covered on cold nights.

Heard of the two-pound coin rule? A chip that size could mean you need to replace your whole windscreen. But check your insurance policy, as repairs are often covered under "glass breakage".
