Tape Up Your Windows

Hopefully, you never have to use this tip, but if you do then you'll be thankful that you have some duct tape on hand. If you ever run into anything large enough to crack your car's window, then quickly take some duct tape and tape up both sides of the window. This will keep the glass from shattering into tiny shards and hopefully keep the windshield intact until you can make it to a glass shop.

This same tip also works with the windows in your home. If you're expecting a strong storm or hurricane-force winds, then taping up windows with duct tape will prevent them from shattering into small shards.
