Ensuring Clear Visibility and Compliance
Windshield stickers are widely used for toll collection (Fastag), society gate access, and safety tags like GetQrHelp. However, incorrect placement can impair driver vision or violate traffic regulations in India.
Under the Central Motor Vehicles Rules (CMVR), any obstruction in the driver's primary line of sight is illegal and can attract fines.
Best Practices for Sticker Placement
To ensure you stay compliant and safe:
- Bottom Corner Placement: The ideal location for a QR contact sticker is the bottom-left corner of the front windshield (passenger side). This keeps it clear of the driver's view while remaining accessible to scanners.
- Behind the Rearview Mirror: Smaller tags can be placed directly behind or below the rearview mirror.
- Avoid the Center and Driver Side: Never place stickers in the middle of the windshield or on the driver's side corner.
Material Standards
GetQrHelp stickers are engineered with premium, automotive-grade, UV-resistant polymers. They do not leave adhesive marks or damage the glass coating when removed, ensuring your windshield stays clean and functional.
