Or maybe not.

My last car went through 2 MOTs at different stations with a very visible
stone chip about 1 inch above the driver eye position. Chip was about 1/2
inch in all including cracks.

I expected it to fail but thought I'd chance it (much like I thought I'd
chance driving round for two years with a bloody great chip in my line of
vision), it didn't fail and was still there when I sold the car.

Still.. wouldn't have cost much to fix.

in front of the driver, centred on the wheel and 18 inches across there
should be no damage larger than 10mm, rest of the screen 40mm in the swept
wiper area (from memory)
