Situation 3: The Windshield is Covered with Water

• If you are unable to see ahead, turn on the headlights in overcast conditions. Not only will it help you see the road ahead, but also help other drivers spot you.

• Replace old wiper blades that don’t clear the water and distort your view.

• Turn on the defroster when the windshield begins to fog due to high humidity and rain.

• Use rain-repellant products on side windows and mirrors to prevent standing raindrops.
