windscreen
Driver's front view
A windscreen is the large front window of a vehicle, providing visibility while protecting occupants from wind and debris.
This is the standard British term; Americans say windshield.
The windscreen fogged up in the cold.
Windscreens also appear on motorcycles and as portable barriers blocking wind from outdoor flames or microphones.
