Scratches in glass greatly weakens it. When working with glass you cut it to size by scratching, then breaking it along that scratch. As mentioned you can sand glass smooth with Silicon Carbide sand paper. It is a long process to do by hand. But the process is to start with a coarse grit. Use that until the original scratch is no longer visible. Then switch to the next finer grit until all of the scratches from the larger grit are gone. repeat. repeat. etc, until the glass is as clear as you want it. I have done this a lot. Start with 100 or 120 grit, then use 120, 150, 180, 220, 240, 320, 400, 500, 600, 800, 1000, 1200, 1500, 2000. You will be able to see through it when you get finished with 600 or 800. I have never used higher then 1000. You need to use water to flush the dust away, lubricate the paper and and to keep the fine dust from becoming airborne. It is NOT good for people.
It is very possible your windshield is laminated to keep it from shattering and flying back into your face if something happens... you know, something like the exhaust pipe getting bent back and hitting it.

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
