When a car hits a deer, the deer can break the windshield.
And for those of you old enough to remember driving before seat belts so can your face
I don’t know if anyone wants to hear these stories, but once I was driving along and came across an accident. It was a rolled over SUV with all the windows intact and someone trapped inside. Someone outside was beating the heck out of the windshield while the woman was panicking and trying to beat her way out. I didn’t stop, but it didn’t look like the guy was trying to hurt her, just trying to get her out.
Another time, I was taking a walk on my lunch break and came across a car that had the windshield kicked in. Kinda. The laminate was still holding it together but there was major damage. I could tell that someone had kicked it because there were a LOT of muddy footprints all over the stomped in hood and windshield.
Those things are hard to break. If you have to go out suddenly, use a side window.
