There are several sophisticated safety features on today's vehicles - from anti-lock brakes to electronic stability control - but having a crystal clear view of the roadway may be your best bet for driving safely.

Have a great school year and enjoy the memories!

Driving with dirty windows and worn out wiper blades attributed to most of those accidents.

Both winter and summer are hard on wiper blades. In the winter, ice, snow, frozen rain, road chemicals, sand, and cold temperatures cause wiper blades to wear out easily. Summer conditions, with exposure to harsh sun rays, dust and pollen, dry out blades and make them less effective.

To improve driver safety, keep your windshield, rear and side windows clean. Have your blades inspected regularly and replace them when needed.

It's a very low cost for the peace of mind you get when you're able to have crystal clear vision while driving.
