In British English, a car's windshield is universally referred to as the windscreen. While American motorists call the front glass window shielding the cabin a windshield, drivers in the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa use "windscreen" across all everyday speech, automotive parts catalogs, and insurance policy documents. Other notable automotive terminology differences include calling the trunk a "boot," the hood a "bonnet," a silencer an "exhaust," and a manual gear shift a "gear stick."
