One wreck scene conies to my Blind very \ i\ ulh . \ young man and his mr| triend. who were to have been married shortly, wen* out riding on one particular rainy night: due to the inclement weather, they had the side glasses up. They were bothering no one. (illy enjoying a nice ride at about \ 25 miles per hour . Suddenly, two drunks in a ear came up from j their rear and crashed into their j car. The young man's head went tbroush in- lett vide git* and almost slashed hii hoad fran his body Hi* death was instant. The young girl received minor cuts from the flying glass. This tragic death was unneces sary; had there been safety glass l good condition in that left door, the young man would probably have had only a knot on his head. : nd no doubt would be alive today, liecause of accidents like this, the law relative to safety glass was enacted. Safety glass is two pieces of good grade plate glass put together in a sandwich fashion, with a layer '-f clear plastic between, and then treated with heat for about two :-nd one-half hours, causing the glass to thoroughly adhear to the plastic. This glass will break when pressure beyond its tensile strength -? applied, but loose pieces will not go flying about, because the :las> is thoroughly anchored by tiie plastic If one side of the plate glass is broken cracked*, the strength of this piece is reduced by one-half. When both sides are broken in a parallel break 'crack) the pieces I then held only by the thin 1 J-ycr of plastic The danger of j 1 ushing a leg. arm. or head through ' 'he gla-.s in a wreck is in propor tion to the number of cracks in the i piece of glass. \lly break or ! 1^-ack 1.1 any one of the glasses!

In addition to distorting or obscuring the vision, 'here is the added danger that in a wreck that portion of the glass not adhered to the plastic will j break and fly loose, again defeating I the purpose of the law.

Since the mechanic. i! inspection program has been in effect in ' North Carolina, the Mechanical | Inspection Division has had numerous letters and queries concerning the necessity of safety ' glass Many motorists have! become irate because they were] forced to replace broken or , discolored windshields and side ?'asses. The Inspection Require ments state that any vehicle originally equipped with safety i glass must have it before it can be given its approved sticker Vehicles manufactured prior to 1936 were not made with safety glass; there lore. we do not require that the original glass in these vehicles be i of the safety nature. However, if one of the original glasses is broken, and has to be replaced, then the replacement must be of safety glass. Naturally, all vehicles made since 1930 come equipped with the safety glass The Inspection Division has made an effort to arrive at a formula for determining when a '.chicle should be rejected because oi the un-afe condition of its glass: to date wc have been unable to reach a satisfactory solution.

We .?ealize that mistakes have been made, and will continue to be made, but where we have made mistakes, they have always been in favor of the motorist's safety. Where there are cracks or breaks in a vehicle's side glass or wind shield. and there is any question concerning its safety, we require that the motorist replace this glass.
