Problem with the windshield

Hello,

Is there anyway you can change the direction of a crack in the
windshield? I just noticed there's one going right for the driver's
side, but I'd like to steer it down so it won't obstruct my view. I've
tried tapping on it with the head of a screw driver, but it doesn't seem
to do much good. Is there a special technique to it? My insurance
doesn't cover replacing the windshield, and as long as the crack isn't
in driver's view I won't fail the safety inspection.

Picture of if:
