Question-
Note: "I know how to drive" does not have to = "I have a license" it just needs to mean that you understand how to operate the vehicle fully
And ofc there's no requirement to being "a car person" and not being one, its entirely up to how you feel about cars!

How Do You Stop A Windscreen Crack From Spreading?
Tumblr media
A cracked windscreen can be a major safety issue and a costly repair. If left unchecked, the crack can spread and worsen, leading to a compromised structural integrity and putting you at risk while driving. So, what can you do to stop a windshield crack from spreading?
If you've noticed a small crack in your windscreen, it's important to take action as soon as possible to prevent it from spreading. Ignoring it could lead to a costly mobile windscreen replacement, as well as putting you and your passengers in danger while driving.
But is it best to repair or replace your windscreen? And how can you prevent the crack from spreading in the meantime? In this article, we'll explore the various temporary fixes, such as using glass cleaner or filling the crack, as well as discuss when windscreen repair and replacement may be necessary, and the associated costs for different vehicle types.
What causes windshield cracks to spread?
Windshield cracks are caused by a variety of factors, including temperature fluctuations, exposure to hazards on the road, and impact from sharp objects. As a result, a windshield crack can spread quickly if not addressed in a timely manner. This is because glass expands and contracts with temperature changes, and a crack can weaken the structural integrity of the windshield, making it more susceptible to further damage.
Ways to stop cracks in a windshield from spreading
There are several affordable methods that can be used to stop a windshield crack from spreading, including:
Park your car in a consistent temperature environment: Extreme temperature fluctuations can cause cracks to spread quickly. Parking your car in a garage or shaded area can help stabilize the temperature and reduce the chances of the crack spreading.
Use a windshield repair kit: Bonafide windshield repair kits are readily available at hardware stores and come with special resin and glass drill bits that can be used to seal the crack. Follow the instructions provided with the kit to ensure a proper repair.
Apply nail polish or super glue: Applying a small amount of clear nail polish or standard cyanoacrylate glue (super glue) to the crack can help seal it and prevent a crack in the windscreen of your car from spreading and further damage.
Use a windshield crack repair specialist: Auto glass repair and replacement companies have experienced technicians who can repair cracks in windshields. They use specialized resins and equipment to repair the crack, restoring the windshield to its original condition.
Seal the crack with tape: Using clear tape to seal the crack can help prevent debris and dirt from entering the crack, reducing the chances of the crack worsening.
How to repair windshield chips and cracks
For minor cracks or chips, you can use a DIY repair kit or seek assistance from a windscreen replacement and repair expert. Follow the instructions provided with the kit or seek advice from a professional to ensure a proper repair. It's important to repair the crack as soon as possible to avoid the need for a complete windshield replacement.
If the crack in your windscreen is too large or severe for repair, windscreen replacement may be necessary to stop it from spreading and ensure the structural integrity of your vehicle.
Professional installation for maximum durability
For complex cracks or damage to the windshield, it's best to seek the assistance of a professional auto glass repair company. They have the tools, experience, and specialized resins needed to repair the windshield to its original condition. The repair process involves injecting the specialized resin into the crack or chip and allowing it to cure. Once cured, the technician will polish the windshield to ensure a clear field of vision.
The benefits of quality windshield replacement
In some cases, the crack may be too large or too severe for repair. In these situations, a complete windshield replacement may be required. It's important to choose a quality windshield replacement to ensure maximum durability and structural integrity. Aftermarket glass may be cheaper, but it may not meet the safety standards required by Australian road rules.
Avoiding future windshield damage
To avoid future windshield damage, it's important to be a conscientious driver and pay special attention to weather reports. Avoid driving on gravel roads or rocky terrain and pay attention to the weight distribution of your vehicle. Additionally, use your window defroster and avoid window tinting to prevent excessive glue or resin from drying out and cracking. Lastly, be aware of any hidden cracks or chips and seek immediate repair if you notice any distortion in your field of vision.
By taking special care to prevent the crack from spreading and seeking professional assistance when needed, you can ensure the structural integrity of your vehicle and the safety of yourself and your passengers. 
If you notice any cracks or chips in your windshield, take immediate action to prevent them from spreading. Use the affordable methods discussed in this article or seek assistance from a professional auto glass repair company. 
Knowing the replacement cost for your vehicle type can help you make an informed decision about whether to repair or replace your windscreen in order to stop the crack from spreading. By following these tips and practising safe driving habits, you can avoid future windshield damage and ensure the longevity of your vehicle's windshield.

#so there's this person on twitter who is like an infamous drama starter and got a whole forum shut down once#and they wrote this (different) book that's one of the greatest so bad it's good things i've ever read#a few great things that happen in that:#characters get in a car crash and flee on foot. later it's casually mentioned one character had both her legs amputated 'due to fractures'#the character pretending to be american by wearing maga hats that have spy gear built into them#the spy gear in question is an alarm that blares if someone lies in their vicinity#'stuff protocol ' said the queen. 'i'm getting hammered tonight'#the chapter where the prime minister is trying to watch the news so she keeps wandering into bars and tv shops and getting kicked out#the dragon that's casually described as 'about the size of 1000 elephants'#the dragon that's a 'dog dragon hybrid with a chihuahua body and a giant dragon head'#the dragon that's owner punched it in the face and only lets people approach if they 'do the iconic royal wave'#the characters being described as 'the short one' 'the guy with the beard' etc#but there being a lengthy detailed description of the characters in harry potter#'apparently a dragon had burnt essex to cinders in a matter of minutes'#anyways i found out they also wrote (a political parody of indiana jones???) for this book of kids short stories years ago#and you know. we needed to know#so it took me like 4 months to track this precious lost media down#which was very worth it because it turns out it's full of many other iconic gems like CELLAR HELL by Elizabeth Elgie (12)

CBS Ghosts is my new guilty pleasure so take my new OCs. The Blanchet family were distant French cousins of the Woodstones who visited the house in the early 1900s, only for a violent house robbery to take the life of their youngest daughter, Mercedes, and her loyal self appointed guard dog, Horse. Only 8 years old, it takes some time for Mercedes to understand her fate, and for some time she’d be very distressed that her family seem to be ignoring her. On the bright side, the other ghosts are there to try and make things easier, though the misfit collective have a hard time caring for a child given their circumstances, and conflicting ideas on how best to raise a little girl.
Tumblr media
Of all the ghosts, she is closest with Thorfinn. He has a soft spot for the little girl.

Ride (Chotun Puttipong) is just an anonymous delivery driver. His helmet, his headlessness, even his name all alienate him from any personal identity. He is simply the labor he provides and nothing more. When Tarnsai (Jennie Panhan) cares enough to appreciate his work (that he would drive late in the rain when others weren't willing) and offer him a cup of coffee (a gesture that has more personal meaning rather than just the money he's earned) he removes his helmet to reveal a face, a real human being, that Tarnsai can form a connection with.
People often misunderstand Marxism as anti-labor, when it's chief concern is actually the dehumanization of the people who are laboring. Peaceful Property is so profoundly interested in remembering the human lives of forgotten laborers. They had struggles and loved ones and dreams and faces. They dreamed of better lives, of homes they could go to when all the work was done. But it's not just the ghosts. Look at how the team had to investigate through pages of renters' names to find Tarnsai because the landlord had no relationship to the tenets. Marxist alienation is about the loneliness everyone can feel when we're limited to these empty commodified relationships.
