What should you look for regarding the bus's windshield during inspection?

During the inspection of a bus's windshield, one of the primary concerns is ensuring that it is free of cracks and obstructions. A clear, unblemished windshield is critical for the driver's visibility and safety while operating the vehicle. Cracks can impair vision, especially if they are located in the driver’s line of sight, and obstructions can include anything from stickers to dirt or debris that might block the driver's view.

In addition to visibility, a damaged windshield can compromise the integrity of the bus, particularly in the event of an accident. Thus, checking for cracks and obstructions is a vital part of maintaining safety standards in the vehicle.

While verifying proper tinting, checking for stickers, and ensuring the windshield is clean and polished are also important aspects of windshield care, they do not address the immediate safety concerns that arise from visibility impairments due to cracks or obstructions. Ensuring a clean and obstruction-free windshield is paramount for safe driving.
