HI
If You saw how many bugs hit My windscreen in the summer driving on the local highway [20 kms]
many times I haven't been able to drive the 20kms back home without cleaning the bugs off...
as the bugs would now not be squashed on the windscreen - they may be flying around inside the car.lol

You would have to wear googles and pull over every few kms to change to a clean pair... lol

If You live near the seaside away from BUGs...
please disreguard the previous.... lol
