The Important (and Overlooked) Components for Vehicle Visibility and Safety

Safety is the most important consideration for drivers on the road – and for good reason.

According to 2022 data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), more than 40,000 people died in traffic crashes last year. Although slightly down from the year prior, the ongoing traffic safety crisis is evident – especially when driving at night.

The Department of Transportation and National Safety Council report some significant traffic accident data as it relates to the elements and poor visibility.

While the majority of driving is done during the day, no automotive or heavy-duty driver can avoid the roadways after dark. And nobody has control over the weather. However, there are some actions drivers can take to improve their safety on the road.

This starts with understanding the critical (but often overlooked) safety components like high-performing wiper blades, bright vehicle lighting and quality windshield wash.
