One of the most hazardous parts of spring time for drivers is the sharp increase in heavy rain storms. Slippery roads and dangerous conditions mean that drivers must be more careful while trying to make their way home. During storms, properly working tires, windshield wipers and windshield are a must have, as they ensure a high visibility and traction. You and your passengers are at greater risk if any of these are not working, so here are a few tips from #CardinaleNissan to keep you safe.

 

Windshield Wipers:

To have the best view of the road during the reduced visibility that a storm brings, your wipers must be properly working. Some signs of damaged wipers include reduced efficiency, leaving streaks or if they are too squeaky. If you notice these, come let our service department experts have a look. We can provide replacement wipers which are inexpensive and quick to install, so you will be back on the road in no time. If you want even more protection from the rain, a coat of water repellant will keep your view much clearer.

 

Tires:

The most dangerous time to be on the road is when the first rain hits the road, as the oils and dirt that have accumulated over time rise to the top. For your tires to correctly grip the road with the added surface liquids, the treads need to be deep enough to keep contact with the road as you are moving. Since treads naturally wear down with daily use, it is important to replace them when you are near the manufacturer’s suggested limit.
