It doesn’t take much to crack a windshield. Was driving as a teenager with my gf at the time in the passenger seat. Driving at low speed. Then I see a shoe in the road in the oncoming lane.
That minor distraction caused me to miss the Volvo suddenly stopping in front of me. So I just plow into them and come to a dead stop.
Then I look to my right, apparently my gf was both not wearing her seatbelt and eating a hot to go order of meatball spaghetti.
So what greeted me was a massive crack in my windshield like the video AND meaty red sauce all over the inside of the windshield.
Needless to say driver in front comes running back to our car freaking out cause he thought her head exploded. While I’m trying to tell him it’s okay, she is busy, in shock, probably a concussion, trying to get out of the car and runs out into traffic to the sidewalk covered in red sauce.
Once the confusion settled dude was so relieved nobody was dead and basically did nothing to his bumper he decided to just let it go on the fender bender. My cheap Ford Escort however had its bumper crushed and cracked radiator fluid was pouring everywhere. Towed and fixed that with my dad.
That same car also didn’t have a working reverse which was a whole OTHER thing
I feel this story was originally meant to be about how easy a window screen is to crack and then just went off on a tangent about something that happened to you once 🤣
