Abstract
Windshields are subject to wear and tear which leads to stray light values which, according to legal court demands engender unusually slow speed limits. Windshields must be considered as a wear and tear part insofar as their condition as regards traffic safety is variable and unreliably predictable so that a periodical inspection within the meaning of paragraph 29 of the Motor Vehicle Approval and Traffic Registration Code (=StVZO) is necessary for the preservation of traffic safety. If so, windshields will have to be constructed in a way so that they may be simple to inspect and replace. The paper discusses the reasons behind these demands.
