Toughened ones weren't so soft.

Hmm, interesting. Do you know any on-line resource mentioning that?

Hmm!
One that tells you the laminated ones are made from toughened glass with a
plastic sandwich like they are?

I thought laminated windscreens were made of ordinary glass,
not toughened.

Nope.. two (or more) layers of toughened glass.
They are annealed to make them break in different ways to the single
toughened glass screens.
The inner layer breaks into smaller pieces than the outer IIRC.

Are you saying they are? Every single laminated screen that has broken
that I've seen has cracks all over it - unlike the typical reaction of
toughened glass to go into small particles as it shatters.
