Is it possible to determine whether the window glass of a vehicle is laminated or tempered by observing how it behaves when it breaks?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Laminated glass is made up of layers of glass bonded by a sheet of plastic material. When it breaks, that sheet retains the fragments and reduces the number that come off. Tempered glass, by contrast, breaks into small pieces and does not have that sheet to hold them together. That is why their behavior when they break makes it possible to distinguish them. How much visibility is retained depends on the extent of the damage: it must not be claimed that any breakage of a laminated window allows normal visibility.
