It's important to have good visibility while driving in the rain, and bad windshield wipers can severely compromise that. Here's a breakdown of what that looks like, and the problems it causes:
Streaking:
Instead of clearing the water, the wipers leave streaks across the windshield, obscuring your vision.
Smearing:
Wipers might smear dirt and water, creating a hazy film that makes it difficult to see.
Skipping:
The wipers might skip over parts of the windshield, leaving areas of water and reduced visibility.
Chattering:
Worn or damaged wipers can make a chattering or squeaking noise as they move across the glass.
Uneven Clearing:
Some parts of the windshield might be clear, while others remain covered in water.
Why This Is Dangerous:
Reduced Visibility:
In heavy rain, even slightly impaired visibility can make it hard to see other vehicles, pedestrians, and obstacles.
Increased Risk of Accidents:
Poor visibility significantly increases the risk of accidents, especially in adverse weather conditions.
Driver Fatigue:
Straining to see through a smeared or streaked windshield can lead to driver fatigue, further compromising safety.
Here are some common causes of bad windshield wipers:
Worn Rubber:
The rubber blades can become worn, cracked, or torn over time, especially from exposure to sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Dirt and Debris:
Dirt, leaves, and other debris can accumulate on the wiper blades, preventing them from making proper contact with the windshield.
Damaged Wiper Arms:
Bent or damaged wiper arms can prevent the blades from applying even pressure to the windshield.
It is very important to change your windshield wipers, on a regular basis.
