Watch Where You Park 

While many drivers associate windshield damage with road debris, external hazards can just as easily hit your windshield while you’re parked, too. This is why automotive experts suggest drivers avoid parking underneath trees or other tall structures where objects may fall on to the vehicle. When possible, park in an enclosed space, such as a garage.

Maintain a Respectable Driving Distance 

The main way drivers can avoid windshield cracks and chips is by maintaining a respectable driving distance between their own vehicle and the vehicle ahead, especially on rural or unpaved roads. Road debris kicked up by other vehicles is a common cause for windshield damage, but can be easily avoided by setting some distance between your vehicle and the one ahead.
