Having a car with a windshield that can be put down, I was also concerned
about the legality of driving with the windshield down.  I am not quite
sure of the law, but the cop who gave me a warning said the following:

"If you drive with the windshield down, your head must be fully protected,
especially the eyes (i.e. full helmet)."

I am not sure how different it is driving a motorcycle without a helmet,
vs. a car with the windshield down.  I guess you can do more damage in
a car if you get hit in the face with a rock and loose control...
