The main thing to worry about is not necessarily a collision but the windshield giving way due to air pressure at highway speeds, especially if you hit a large bump or pothole.
Chances are this will NOT happen, but I’m just pointing out a “what-if” situation.
Hold your hand out the window, near the car, at an angle similar to the windshield while you’re going down the road.
Feel the force applied and then imagine how much pressure is being exerted against that glass.
I’m a believer in heading things off before they occur; even the fluky ones.
A windshield is normally not that expensive a repair if you price it around.
Most glass here runs about 200 to 275 on most cars including labor.
