Does the transparency of windscreen have an influence on the field of vision of the driver?

Description

Art. 22 para. 1 and 4 of the Act of 20 June 1997 - Road Traffic Act (consolidated text: Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137, as amended).
Explanation

Correct answer: It has an effect on limiting the field of vision.

Yes, the transparency of the windows has a key impact on the driver's field of vision. As you can see in the picture, a wet or dirty windscreen, especially at night, causes light to scatter and significantly reduces visibility. According to Art. 66 para. 1 pt. 5 of the Road Traffic Act, a vehicle must be maintained in such a way as to provide the driver with a sufficient field of vision.
