Will a car with a cracked windscreen pass a M.O.T ?

Question:
I have a 6" crack on the bottom left-hand side of my windscreen, just above my Tax disc. Its not in my field of vision and some people have told me it should be ok. Does anyone know for sure?

How do i change the tranny oil on an 02 corolla?

Hi there,
Windscreen damage and will it fail?
Looking from the inside sitting in the drivers seat, draw an imaginary line based on the centre of the steering wheel, from top to bottom, zone A is a band which is 290mm wide based on that centre line, any damage greater than 10mm within that Zone A is a reason for rejection(fail), the remainder of the swept area, damage greater than 40mm is a reason for rejection(fail) Any concentrated areas of damage within the swept area, could be a reason for rejection. ANY DAMAGE OUTSIDE THE SWEPT AREA, Is not a reason for rejection.Hope this helps
Cheers
