Worn Windshield Wipers Endanger Driver Safety
Wipers fail when most needed during winter as snow ice and road salt reduce visibility. Test during rain or dirty water and check all speeds for signs of streaking hazing hopping scalloping or rattling. Replace worn blades and consider molded polycarbonate wipers for longer life and less glare.
Lengthy Stretch at Wheel Shortens Driving Time
Tests by CAL Inc in Buffalo, for the U S Department of Transportation, show fatigue after four hours increases steering corrections by 20 percent and causes lane drift to exceed double. A blow-out worsens swerve distance, while simulations mirror real road conditions with computer controlled settings.
