Light the way, inside and out
When you think of car lighting you probably think of your car’s headlights. And for good reason. Your car’s headlights play a crucial role in visibility – they light up the road in front of you and at night they alert oncoming drivers to your presence.
It is estimated that the risk of having a car accident at night is 3 times higher than during the day, almost half of fatal accidents occur when it is dark although only 20% of all journeys are driven at night. *
As our days get shorter, ensure your headlights are functioning properly. It is important to note that your car’s lighting system is more than just your headlights. All your car lights play an important role in your visibility and safety. Your rear lights and indicators are integral to road safety and accident prevention. Ensure they are all functioning correctly and consider installing LED lamps. LED lamps burn brighter than normal halogen lamps, increasing your visibility, and they use less energy which means lower CO2 emissions.

A clear view of the road
Considering almost all of a driver’s visibility is through the windscreen, a clean and clear view is imperative to road safety. And yet, wiping systems remain one of the most overlooked aspects of a car’s visibility system.
If your wipers leave traces, are noisy or don’t completely clear your windscreen of water it’s time to replace them. Once they are replaced you can help maintain proper wiping by taking a few simple steps:
- Ensure your windscreen is kept clean - debris can damage wiper blades
- Always defrost the windshield in winter before using wipers – ice can damage the wiper motor and blades
- Only use windshield washer fluids - household cleaning products can deteriorate the blades
