Winter Car Safety: Turn Wipers Off Before Turning Off Your Car (Here's Why!) Safety Do-It-Yourself Home
Right before you turn your car off, remember to turn your wipers off first! If you don't, they can break the next time you turn on your car.
In the winter, if you turn your car on and the wipers are ready to go, the heaviness of the snow or the ice buildup can cause your wipers to become loose over time and therefore break. And remember to:
- turn your car on
- blast the defrost
- scrape that snow and ice off
Do all of these things before turning your wipers on. Be safe!
