Under what condition is a crack in the windshield acceptable?

It is large and noticeable
It causes no visible distortion
It is located at the edge of the glass
It is smaller than a quarter

The correct answer is: It causes no visible distortion

A crack in the windshield is considered acceptable when it causes no visible distortion. This means that the crack does not interfere with the driver's ability to see the road clearly. Visibility is crucial for safe driving, and any obstruction or distortion can lead to accidents. Therefore, as long as the crack does not compromise the clarity of the glass, it may be deemed acceptable. Other options suggest conditions that either imply a significant flaw (as in a large and noticeable crack), raise safety concerns related to visibility (a crack at the edge can spread and compromise integrity), or do not appropriately assess the impact of size alone on visibility (where a smaller crack might still cause distortion). Understanding the criteria for visibility helps ensure that safety standards are maintained in vehicle operation.
