Going over to have my front winshield installed. I plan to drive it across town to have her done. Is it legal or not legal to drive it that way without one? I don't see half them Harleys out there with winshields on them, although this is California. :confused:

How far is across town? :confused:
I'd just go! :p
Maybe they will give you a fix-it ticket for something you are on your way to fix.

In Missouri it is legal. I've heard of people kicking out a broken windshield to pass inspection.

Around here they have mobile units that will come to your home or business, have you looked in the phone book for a company near you?

DMV
If you have to drive to the place be prepared to have any information regarding your apppointment with you to show the police that you are driving directly to the company to have it replaced. You are in a small town and they may let you slide, drive the back roads if possible, oh, you only have back roads grin .......g

Hi Bobbyt. Good to see another New Mexico Bolter on the Page. There are a couple of other bolters over by you, Belin and Albuquerque. Welcome to the Bolt. My neighbor and fellow bolter Shellvrolet, has been driving his 51 hot rod pickup around without doors or windows for a while now. He has a very nicely restored 50 and is working on this 51 on a 70's chevy chassis. He drives them both. Shelly's computer has been down for a while, but he said to tell you all hi.

In some places it’s the law that a vehicle is required to have a wind shield, BUT the law doesn't state that the windshield has to be installed.
So just put it in the cab and if you get pulled over just say here it is kind Officer.
