Most people understand the laws regarding the operation of car headlights at night. However, many forget about other circumstances where headlights are vital when it comes to driving safely and coordinating with other drivers. Fortunately, this article will cover the situations (especially in the winter months) where wipers and headlights are necessary to avoid accidents or miscommunication with other drivers.
Be prepared for winter driving
Windshield wipers prevent excessive accumulation of water, snow and dirt on the windshield, keeping visibility clear. Many factors can speed up the wiper replacement interval, including operating conditions (winter conditions are harsh on wiper blades), frequency of use, wiper material and type, and sunny weather. In fact, wiper blades can wear out faster and require more frequent replacement in desert states.
give the vehicle the attention it deserves
Lights are normal wear body parts that require periodic inspection and replacement. The lighting system ensures visibility at night; signals and alerts other drivers; and provides light for viewing instruments and the interior of the vehicle. In addition to replacing rapidly flashing lights that are dimmed and not working, the following tips can help keep you safe.
See and be seen!
As you have seen, car lights and wipers play a significant role in overall driving safety. Proper maintenance of these simple but vital vehicle parts will ensure that you have clear visibility on the road. In addition, you will be visible to other drivers, avoiding collisions and accidents. Keeping these auto parts clean and working efficiently is relatively easy and affordable.

From the driver’s seat, you might recognize a light that is not working. Therefore, ensure that you inspect your vehicle’s light after every oil change. You should also inspect and replace your wiper blades to allow better visibility when wet weather hits. This is where you can get assistance from a trusted mechanic.
"Excellent service and skilled mechanics. I always come when I have a problem with my cars and I always recommend this place to everyone.”
be prepared for the cold season
Internal combustion engines work by mixing gasoline with air in the engine’s cylinders. Once the air-fuel mixture is compressed, the mixture is ignited by the spark plug, which moves the pistons. In years past, especially before the 1980s, a carburetor controlled the mixture of fuel and air. A disadvantage of the carburetor was its inability to precisely control the fuel in the air-fuel mixture.
As a general rule, to maintain road safety and avoid fines, make sure your headlights, brake lights and tail lights are working effectively.
Broken lights can easily disorient drivers and pedestrians, cause an accident, or cause a driver to misunderstand a vehicle’s contextual space.
