the large front window of a vehicle
A windshield is a large, clear piece of glass at the front of a vehicle that protects the driver and passengers from wind, debris, and weather elements while driving. It also plays an important role in supporting the vehicle’s roof and maintaining its strength. Windshields are designed to be durable and shatter-resistant, often made from laminated glass to ensure safety in case of an accident. They are usually kept clean using wipers, which are controlled by the driver to improve visibility during rain or snow.
