Abstract
Windscreens of cars are mostly made of laminated or tempered glass. In this report the differences between the safety of laminated and tempered glass in case of collision are studied. It is shown that there is hardly any difference in the effect of the result of an accident for the vehicle occupant. The advantages of laminated glass are in the pre-crash phase. The real useful effect of laminated glass is in the better properties at crack. A laminated glass windscreen remains transparent at a crack during driving and does not crumble.
