**What is ADAS?
As the safety technology evolves within vehicles, ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) become more common place. It’s important to ensure that they are functioning correctly. These systems can alert drivers to potential problems on the roads and can even take control of the vehicle when necessary – applying the emergency brakes if the vehicle was to collide with an object, for example. These systems use a combination of cameras and sensors that are often built into the windscreen. They usually sit inside a car windscreen and when a glass replacement is carried out, its angle and position changes. The process requires the correct alignment and re-calibration of the cameras and sensors to avoid any duty of care issues where driver sensors/aids may not work correctly.

<h2>Your questions answered</h2>

It's always best to get any chip or crack repaired straight away. Fixing any small damage is generally quick and inexpensive. Left unattended it can quickly spread, restricting your visibility and undermining your vehicle's structural strength.

It’s also important to know that driving with a damaged windscreen can be seen as a motoring offence. If the damage extends for 40mm or more your vehicle will fail its MOT.

Our guidance is that a damaged windscreen should always be repaired first, rather than replaced. Windscreens are split into A, B, C & D zones. In Zone A, which is centred on the steering wheel, you can only repair damage 10mm or less in diameter. In other zones, the limit is 40mm.

ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) are designed to alert drivers to potential road hazards. They use a combination of cameras and sensors often built into the windscreen.

When a screen is replaced, its angle and position can change. So, to make sure the cameras and sensors continue operating safely, they must be perfectly aligned and re-calibrated.
