Have you checked your windscreen wipers?

Most decisions made by drivers are based on a clear unobstructed view of the road ahead, which makes good visibility essential, especially during wet weather.

This means that windshield wiper blades are among the most important driving safety components on any motor vehicle.

Windshield wipers have a squeegee effect – each time the thin rubber blade moves across the windshield the droplets of water are pulled away from the driver’s field of vision.

Some wiper blades may look okay but they do a poor job of wiping when put to the test. Others are in obvious need of replacement because they’re cracked, split, torn, brittle, or otherwise clearly showing signs of wear and tear.
