Why You Need Hydrophobic Treatments for Windscreens
Windscreens play a critical role in the safety of both vehicle drivers and passengers. Things like proper hooter function, the tread life on a tire, or even the clarity of a vehicle’s windows can play a crucial role.
In South Africa the National Road Traffic Regulations, 1999 stipulate:
No person shall operate on a public road any motor vehicle having a windscreen, window, or partition made of transparent material unless such material affords the driver sufficient visibility for safe driving of such vehicle.
The above statement may appear obvious, however, it is simply not the case, most accidents occur in poor visibility conditions and at night and it all starts with a dirty windscreen. Remember a Perfect vision is important when traveling. It will not be a valid defense in court to say that you caused an accident because you could not see. If you can’t see – You may not drive.
Driving in Storms
Many accidents occur during storm events when slick roads and poor visibility can lead to catastrophe. While many of these incidents are simple fender benders, many are serious events that could be avoided with simple safety measures. One of these safety precautions that are overlooked is with your windscreen. Drivers who apply a hydrophobic coating to their windscreen have more visibility in rain, snow, and fog.
As with life, some situations on the road are simply unavoidable. But you can prevent a catastrophe if you can see it coming.
See Accidents From a Mile Away
It is no secret that consumers who are searching for a vehicle, seek safety features that provide accident avoidance. This is why new cars now come standard with things like rearview cameras and collision avoidance systems. However, taking proactive measures in preventing accidents is key. Checking brakes and tires for signs of wear and tear helps. But for prime visibility, that’s where a hydrophobic coating for your windscreen comes in.
Did you know your windscreen actually has microscopic bumps and crevices, even though it feels smooth? These small bumps actually make your windshield vulnerable because they act as weak spots that are susceptible to cracks and chips when getting hit with a pebble on the highway or running over a large pothole. Once more, they can also produce streaks, making your windscreen wipers less effective when driving through the elements.
