Time to clean-up your act?

Did you know?

• Poor visibility is one of the major causes of road accidents.
• You can be fined £1,000 and receive two penalty points if your vehicle is found to have defective wiper blades.
• Frost, heat, ice, insects, ozone and UV radiation can all cause high-quality rubber blades to degrade after 6 months of use.
• Ineffective wiper blades will result in an MOT failure.
• You should replace wiper blades every 12 months to maintain optimum driving safety (or sooner if necessary).
• The AA recommends replacing wiper blades at least once a year. To check for worn blades, run your thumb down a blade and if you can feel it's worn (splitting or pitted) it's time to change the rubber.

Additional signs of wear can also include:

• Uneven clearing of water when the wipers are in motion.
• Smears on screen when in operation.
• Unusual noise or chattering as the blades struggle to glide over the glass smoothly.
• Frame is in contact with the glass.
• A change in colour of some blades also indicate replacement required.
