    There is no compulsion fo a windscreen to be fitted.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    Just wear some glasses and breath through your mouth so your teeth filter the bugs

    Just make sure to wear a glazed look while you're driving and no one will notice the difference.

    I have driven from North Queensland to Adelaide with NO windscreen ... Put your side windows all up ... and you find it's actually a great way to travel ... Not windy, very comfy

    You won't need to wear sunnies or anything ....

    If your driving a VB commodore tho ... expect the rear window to blow off tho ..

    On most modern vehicles the windscreen is actually a load bearing part of the body, driving the vehicle with no screen can cause damage to the structure of the vehicle. If its an older vehicle or a defender, don't worry.

    Modern, read late '70s.

    If the screen was bonded in, then it is load bearing.
    If it held in place by a rubber seal with no bonding, then it isn't load bearing.
