Did You Know You Can Get a Ticket for a Cracked Windshield in Alberta?
It’s true! There are several laws in Canada that cover windshield condition. If you have a cracked or otherwise damaged windshield, a police officer may issue a notice; an order to repair; a ticket and fine; or an order removing your vehicle from the road.
The reason for this is Alberta's regulations covering driver visibility. For example, in Alberta, drivers can be ticketed for a windshield that has ‘a crack that is more than 12mm in diameter, within the area swept by the wipers’ and, in some cases, the fine could be up to $500!
Remember: Opting for an immediate windshield repair or replacement can save a driver significant time and money down the road.
Why You Should ALWAYS Repair or Replace Your Damaged Windshield
Regardless of the laws, you should always repair or replace damaged auto-glass AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. Not only could a cracked windshield, rear glass, or side glass impair your ability to see the road clearly, but it also comprises the structural integrity of your car and leaves you and your passengers vulnerable in an accident.
