2019 Mitsubishi Mirage: Windshield Wipers

Relevant Material
  •  “In Canada, environmental factors such as adverse weather contributed to 18–20% of all fatal vehicle accidents in a recent year, according to Transport Canada.
  • The U.S. Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) reports that about 21% of all accidents in the United States are weather-related.
  • The European Automotive Insurers Association found that poor visibility is a factor in approximately 20% of all car accidents.
  • An Australian driver training organization noted that poor visibility can increase the risk of a crash by 30% or more.
  • Studies have shown that collision risk can increase by 50 to 100% during precipitation. 
The link between malfunctioning wipers and accidents 
Poor visibility is a major factor in weather-related accidents, and malfunctioning wiper systems are a major cause of impaired visibility. This can happen in several ways: 
  • Worn-out blades: Blades that streak, smear, or miss sections of the windshield leave a driver's view obstructed, even during light precipitation. A survey in the U.S. revealed that as many as one in five vehicles had deficient wipers that could seriously impair a driver's vision.
  • Motor or arm failure: If a wiper arm or the motor that controls it fails, drivers can lose all visibility and have no way to clear the windshield.
  • Washer system failure: Without sufficient washer fluid, wipers cannot effectively clear dirt, road grime, or insects, further reducing visibility. 
The significance of maintaining wipers
Though often overlooked, windshield wipers are a critical safety component. Because 90% of all driving decisions are based on vision, their proper function is directly tied to a driver's ability to react to road hazards. Drivers who neglect to replace worn-out wiper blades are putting themselves at a higher risk of an accident. 
Taking action
To ensure safety during adverse weather conditions, it is important to regularly check and maintain your wiper blades.
