A motor vehicle shall not be operated on the streets or highways unless it is equipped
with a windshield of sufficient dimensions to protect the driver and occupants from
insects, other airborne objects, and highway surface water and debris, when the motor
vehicle is moving forward. A farm tractor, other implement of husbandry, and historic
vehicles as defined in section 803a of the Michigan Vehicle Code (MCL 257.803a) are
exempt from this section. When a motorcycle operated on the public highways of this
state in excess of 35 miles per hour is not equipped with a windshield, the operator
shall wear goggles with transparent lenses or a transparent face shield or eyeglasses,
which goggles, eyeglasses, or face shield shall be of shatter resistant material and
of sufficient size to protect his eyes against insects, other airborne material, and
highway surface water and debris.
