I broke a laminated screen by pressing a stick on mirror too hard.

OK. How much did it break?

A crack that went downwards.

I once had a very deep stonechip (in a laminated windscreen on a 1975
car, incidentally) and gently pressing it caused a crack to spread. That is
the nature of cracks. But it required a lot of energy from a sharp edged
object to originate it.



There may have been pre-existing damage, I could not tell, I just
pressed hard on the mirror/pad and the screen split, happily the mot man
agreed to ignore it and the car was scrapped before the next mot.
