Every wonder what the black dots on your car's windshield are?

You're sitting peacefully behind your steering wheel when you got caught in traffic the other day. The weather was bad and PennDot is warning drivers that they can expect heavy snowfalls ahead. As you sit to wait out the weather, you stare out your windshield. Then you notice the dot. Those on your windshield. You muse: What are they and why are they there?

The answer to your vehicle's dots may surprise you.

The dots on your windshield actually serve a purpose. They help provide safety, stability, and simple attractiveness to your car, according to iflscience.com. They are officially called "frits" and they are made of ceramic paint that can't be removed.

Their main duty is keeping your windshield attached to your car. The paint provides a better surface for the glue that attaches the glass to the car. It also, iflscience.com says, provides protection against the ultraviolet light that would break it down.

The band of dots also offer safety by supplying a better visual space for drivers to see without being hampered. And, the frits also block the sun and help drivers from being blinded while driving. Very important stuff, for sure.
