Default cracked windshield question

ok, i got pulled over today for a crack in my windshield. its literally all the way at the bottom of the windshield and completely OUT of my line of vision. but i was pulled over and ticketed for it (inspection ticket). my question is this, how much trouble would i be in IF i were to get the ticket signed and mailed in, w/o getting the windshield fixed?

i got a crack in it before and had the windshield replaced and i kid you not, less than two weeks later a rock cracked it once again so i said **** it, im leaving it. its out of my line of vision, so oh well.

i dont feel like shelling out the $200 right now b/c i have other things i could be doing w/ that money.

AAahhhhh, hahahaha, Yea, that does suck, You can go to a salvage place, but then you will have to have someone put it in. How much would a ticket be compared to the windshield? I would just go ahead and fix it, but thats just me. You could always put a decal over it

Ah ****...I was getting ready to sell you my stock windscreen for shipping plus a few bucks. Nevermind, glass is spendy. I haven't heard of someone getting pulled over for a crack in the window before. What the hell?

I'd see a judge about it. Who doesnt have some sort of crack on their windsheilds? Cops have them, judges have them, people have them.

It is illegal though, but it has to be a certain lenght before its considered dangerous.
