What should not be assessed in the windshield inspection area?

In the context of a windshield inspection area, the primary focus is on ensuring that the area critical for visibility is thoroughly assessed, while areas that do not directly affect visibility or safety are typically not included in the assessment criteria.

The area above, below, and to the sides of the windshield typically has specified dimensions that are evaluated during inspections. For instance, specific borders—like the 2-inch border at the top and the 1-inch border at each side—are excluded from assessments because they typically do not obstruct the driver's view or compromise safety. The area below the steering wheel is also generally outside the direct visibility range necessary for driving and driving safety, hence it is not part of the windshield inspection focused on ensuring visual clarity.

In this context, there is a clear guideline on what should be included in the evaluation process, highlighting that at certain borders around the windshield and regions below steering controls are not pertinent to the inspection. Thus, the choice that encompasses all of these areas reflects an understanding of the inspection standards and priorities concerning driver safety and visibility.
