Cars in East Anglia face the highest amount of windscreen damage, Churchill has revealed.
According to the car insurance firm, the regional risk can be explained by the fact that an unusually high proportion of Norfolk and Suffolk is made up of arable farming land.
This is because the heavy machinery used for agriculture creates additional debris on the road - which is then thrown up by cars and causes damage to the windscreens.
Claire Foster, spokesperson for Churchill Insurance, commented: "It is important to get windscreens fixed as soon as they are damaged, even when it is the smallest crack. If drivers fail to fix the damage, this could impair people's vision whilst driving.
"Many people do not realise that windscreen claims will not affect their no claims discount under most insurance policies, so there is no sense in delaying the inevitable."
The AA advises that windscreen damage of up to 40mm across can be repaired without the need of replacement.
However, if the chipped or cracked glass is right in front of the driver, only damage up to 10mm can be repaired.
