With the exception of the conditions listed in paragraphs (c)(1), (c)(2), and (c)(3) of this section, each windshield shall be free of discoloration or damage in the area extending upward from the height of the top of the steering wheel (excluding a 51 mm (2 inch) border at the top of the windshield) and extending from a 25 mm (1 inch) border at each side of the windshield or windshield panel.

It was right near where my 'hood' ends for my vision. The DOT officer pointed it out and I said I was well aware of it and if it crept upward at out of the 'hood' area of my vision I'd get it replaced.
