About Check Your Wipers Day in the Southern Hemisphere
Ends: May 16, 2025
DESCRIPTION:
Windshield wipers are small, unassuming devices that play a vital role in maintaining clear visibility during inclement weather, making them an essential element of road safety. To underscore their significance, "Check Your Wipers Day" was established as an annual event, reminding drivers to ensure the proper functioning of their windshield wipers.
Automobile accidents caused by impaired visibility due to worn-out or malfunctioning windshield wipers have been persistent. To address this problem and promote awareness, safety advocates, local automotive repair shops, and the Michelin Tire Company support Check Your Wipers Day. The Northern Hemisphere observes Check Your Wipers Day on November 16. The Southern Hemisphere observes Check Your Wipers Day on May 16.
The main objective of Check Your Wipers Day is to encourage drivers to inspect their windshield wipers regularly and replace them when necessary. Wipers that have deteriorated over time or have cracked rubber blades can streak, skip, or leave smudges on the windshield, significantly impairing a driver's vision, especially during rain, snow, or fog.
During Check Your Wipers Day, automotive experts and safety organizations typically provide educational materials, conduct workshops, and offer discounted wiper replacements at participating garages and auto parts stores. These activities aim to underscore the importance of proactive vehicle maintenance and foster a culture of responsibility among drivers.
Non-functioning wiper blades produce rain-smeared or fog-obscured windshields, which can lead to accidents, endangering the lives of motorists and pedestrians alike. In addition to wiper blade replacements, drivers are advised to check their windshield washer fluid levels and ensure that their windshield is free from debris, such as leaves and dirt, that can hinder wiper performance.
By taking a few moments to check and replace their wipers when needed, motorists contribute to safer roadways, reduce the risk of accidents, and demonstrate their commitment to responsible driving practices.
