Drivers could face a hefty fine of up to £2,500 for neglecting to maintain their windscreen wipers, a crucial but often overlooked aspect of car safety. Faulty wipers can compromise visibility and lead to dangerous driving situations. Experts recommend regular checks for wear and tear, replacing wipers every six months to a year, and ensuring they can handle harsh weather conditions. By taking proactive maintenance measures, drivers can avoid fines and ensure clear visibility on the road.
