Recent research has shown that more than 23% of accidents are caused by poor visibility or are visible in traffic. We can improve a lot on this ourselves. Make sure that you always have maximum visibility and are seen by the other participants in our busy traffic.
Let's start at see or clear view. It will be known to everyone that our car windows are not always as clean as they should be. If car windows (inside and outside) are not cleaned properly, there will be deposits. The air conditioning also provides a greasy touch, e.g. on the windscreen. This assassination will result in poor visibility. Low standing sun or in the evening the bright light of oncoming traffic can lead to unsafe situations. So make sure your car windows are clean.
Tip: Also clean your rearview mirror and exterior mirrors.
Seeing also has to do with your lighting. Almost every modern car has plastic headlight "glasses". This plastic is sensitive to influences of UV and traffic pollution such as exhaust fumes. They get dirty or discolored quickly. The light output can be reduced by up to 60%. The result is that the headlights are poorly visible to oncoming traffic, but above all they feel that the headlights themselves are not working properly.
Tip: Also clean your rear lights, third brake light and your fog lights.
You have already read that clean car windows, mirrors and lighting make a major contribution to preventing accidents. The largest surface that others see of you is the car itself. Make sure your car is clean and therefore as visible as possible.
Reflection, or being visible to someone else, has everything to do with how clean your car or motorcycle is.
You know: Many car washes and car cleaners work on the basis of oil or naphtha. Oil products are greasy, bad for the environment and ensure a faster return of pollution.
Tip: Always use water-based products. Good for your car and good for people and the environment.
