There is a lot of talk in the media about the future of car ownership, with many experts predicting that car ownership rates will decline in the future as electric, driverless cars take over, a bit like in Total Recall.

At Strathclyde Windscreens, we see our fair share of windscreen cracks and chips that frankly, could have been avoided.
