it sort of depends in qld they dont really crack down on it if its on the passengerside and depends on the attatude of the copper or transport person at the time and how u treat them i guess but anyway its defectable just depends on the situation at the time

No pun intended?

Yes I would defect the vehicle. If the glass is crack. If its just a stone chip then no worries.

Only trucks get a better chance of not getting a defect notice because of the type of work they do and the cost to replace the windscreen on a truck, (down time) transport moguls etc etc

Yes its unroadworthy and defectable in most states I think...

...My windscreen is unroadworthy and defectable thanks to some sand abrasion over the face of it...sooo tight

You say this like you're a cop. If so, why do trucks get let off the hook because of the apparent "cost" to replace their windscreen. Since when does cost to the operator offset the inferred safety hazard? Why is this courtesy not extended to other motorists?
