I WAS DRIVING DOWN ROUTE 295 IN VIRGINIA WITH NO OVERPASSES OR ELEVATIONS AROUND ME AND NO CARS IN FRONT OF ME ONLY BEHIND ME, WHEN SUDDENLY THE SUNROOF GLASS SHATTERED. LUCKILY SINCE MY SUNROOF WAS CLOSED I HAD THE INSIDE COVER PULLED FORWARD SO THE GLASS DID NOT FALL ON TOP OF ME. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A DISASTER FOR ME IF THE GLASS HAD FALLEN ON ME AND CREATED OR CAUSED ME TO TURN INTO OTHER TRAFFIC. PHOTO
