crack on my windshield

hey guys. so i got a crack on my windshield yesterday. at first it was just a small crack that was probably the size of a fly, but when i got in my car this morning, i noticed that it got bigger. the crack is close to the middle, closer to the driver side.
i was just wondering if it is safe enough for me to drive for another week or so before i got it fixed and do you guys have any recommendation for a windshield place near dublin? TIA!


here's an illustration that shows what the crack looks like....lol

I would put some tape up on that for very temporary protection from getting bigger or breaking. But a windshield place for recommendation...don't know google something close where u live. its gonna cost you $300 i think average.

should fill it, although, I'm not an expert at this. I know with a small chip, you can use hot glue to fill it, but I don't know how well that'll work for a crack.

It should be okay for a week, but fix/replace it soon because it'll just get bigger.

thanks for the advice so far.

uhhh really quick update? i decided on not waiting to fix the crack because the cracks actually grew just sitting in the garage. now i'm just looking for some place to get it fixed at. time to begin my search!!
