perspex (aka plexiglass) is very prone to scratching although it is less expensive than safety (laminated) glass.
Always prefered laminated glass for cab windows myself.
Depends on truck type & if its being used indoors or outdoors, if its an indoor truck then polycarbonate should be alright.
If its a counter balance then I would go laminated glass everytime.
polycarbonate screens are far safer than perspex. less chance of shattering and can be drilled to hold a wiper.i used to fit Lexan Margard which had a anti-scratch coating.don,t know if there is any legalities as long as you have a working wiper fitted it should be ok..
