Vehicles' Wiper Blades Help Avoid Accidents

Experts in the field even do say that if people do have their windshield wiper blades running perfectly, one million accidents would not be occurring annually. This is why these experts do maintain that vehicle owners and drivers should keep in mind that it would be best to inspect windshield wiper blades and replace them at least every six months. Look for cracked or torn rubber, splits, gouges, or a discoloration in the blade surface. Next, run your finger along the blade surface and check for hard or brittle rubber or ragged edges. Gregory does have the right to say such things, after all, he is the current director for Advance Auto Parts' consumer education department. He further adds, "Incredibly, fifty per cent of vehicles on the road today have windshield wipers that are beyond their functional lifespan, and fifteen per cent of the vehicles inspected during National Car Care Month failed because of worn windshield wiper blades."
