How to react?
A windscreen can smash to smithereens with quite a bang,
which adds to the astonishment of the situation. The first thing to keep in
mind is not to panic and hit the brakes with all your force. If braked
severely, the car may well pull from one side or the other, and with no clear
straight vision, this alone could lead to an accident.
By taking your foot away from the accelerator and gently
braking, there’s a chance you could see well enough to pull up more slowly but
in a safe manner. If you cannot see properly you will have to make a hole in
the crushed glass. Hold the fingers outstretched and hit the screen with the
heel of your hand, this ensures that the hole you create will be good enough to
see through and lessen the risk of injury to your hand. Once you have stopped
the car it is best not to drive on because your forward vision is messed up.
