safe-driving
If windshield wipers fail during heavy rain, what should the driver do?
- Slow down, turn on hazard warning lights, and pull off to a safe location
- Brake hard in the lane and leave the vehicle there
- Speed up so the rain passes over the windshield faster
- Turn off all lights and continue at the posted speed
Answer: Slow down, turn on hazard warning lights, and pull off to a safe location. Wiper failure during heavy rain removes a major part of the driver’s view, so speed should come down immediately. Hazard warning lights alert nearby traffic while the driver looks for a safe place away from the travel path. Sudden braking can create a rear-end collision, particularly when vehicles are following. Increasing speed does not restore visibility and makes any hidden obstacle harder to handle. Treat the loss of wipers as a visibility emergency: warn others, reduce pace, and leave the roadway when a safe location is available.
