Is there a rule for tempered glass?

And if there is "not", then there "might" be a good case for the rule.

Imho, this is "China glass".

Any questions, concerns, bad jokes?

I think that is "tempered" glass - notice how it breaks into small pieces. Regular glass cracks in much larger and more dangerous pieces. The windshields are made with a laminated safety glass so you don't get showered with glass shards, although I think part of the reason is to keep the occupants from going through the windshield, as it tends to pop-out in one piece.
