Prescription windshield

I think it would be a good idea to have your car outfitted with the same prescription windshields and side windows as your eyeglasses. I also believe that insurance companies would agree with this idea and offer discounts to those with prescription windshields. Also, this would cut down on auto thefts and keep your friends from wanting to borrow your car.

       Sure. But depending on your prescription, your head would appear, to someone looking back at you in their rear-view mirror, as either extremely large, or, more commonly with the concave lens for myopia, unnaturally small. Therefore, the admonition on the viewer's rear-view mirror that, "Objects In Mirror Are Closer Than They Appear", would be even more confusing. And in your case, the adhesive tape you would eventually place onto your windshield to keep it in place would thereby mark you as having a deficit of social currency.

       I have a moral obligation to do at least one clever thing a day and [waugsqueke] beat me to the link.

       I don’t think this would be useful for those of us who have completely different prescriptions in each eye.
