DDifficulty 3/5

A bus’s windscreen wipers have hardened rubber and leave streaks that impair vision even with a clean windscreen. What should you do?

Correct answer

Replace the deteriorated wiper blades.

Replace the deteriorated wiper blades to restore effective windscreen clearing. Also check installation and system condition according to the manufacturer. Do not wait for the support to break or for a fixed interval to expire when deterioration is already evident. Periodic checks and replacement recommendations do not justify continuing to use a blade that prevents clear vision.
