Never been keen on laminated glass. Sure, it tends to stay in one piece, but just look at those long, thin, pointy shards whereas toughened glass is extremely strong but, when smashed, ends up as slightly rough marbles. One could quite happily sit on a heap of them. Now go look at a broken laminated glass and consider whether you'd sit on that. The relevance here, of course, is whether in an accident one ends up passing through the glass. Toughened is so much safer, yet RAC regulations etc demand laminated glass. Never figured why.
