During a walk-around inspection, what should you check for on the windshield?

During a walk-around inspection, checking the windshield for cracks and cleanliness is essential for several reasons. A clear and unblemished windshield ensures maximum visibility for the driver, which is crucial for safe driving. Cracks can obstruct the driver's view and may compromise the structural integrity of the windshield, especially in the event of an accident. Moreover, any debris or dirt on the windshield can hinder visibility, particularly under adverse weather conditions such as rain or when sunlight hits at certain angles. Therefore, ensuring that the windshield is free from cracks and is clean contributes significantly to the overall safety of the vehicle and its operation on the road.
