don't know abt PA, but in NY the answer is 'no', law here sez you must have 'saftey glass' (dot label /numbered) at 'immediate right and left of driver'...hint: little glass front side 'vent' wings on 80's chevy vans have dot labels...of course, if you have 'nothing at all', that passes in some places...
