In a two-choice response time experiment, drivers viewed slides of nighttime road scenes through four different windshields. Drivers were asked to indicate if it was 'safe to proceed' by pressing buttons. Increasing the degree of windshield damage led to increases in response time, especially when a light simulating the glare of an oncoming vehicle's headlamps was present. This last result suggests to the authors that windshield damage is a visibility problem that should receive more attention from drivers and safety organizations.
