In Arizona, where intense sun, dust storms, and sudden weather shifts are part of everyday driving, visibility is everything. One of the most overlooked aspects of road safety is the condition of your vehicle’s windows—especially the windshield. Driving with dirty windows doesn’t just make your car look bad; it compromises your safety, too.
Visibility Is Critical in Arizona’s Driving Conditions
Clear, unobstructed windows are your first line of defense when driving in bright sunlight or during low-visibility situations like monsoon dust storms. Even a thin layer of grime can cause glare or distort your view, delaying your reaction time. According to AAA, dirt, debris or smudge can limit your field of vision and increase the risk of accidents.
Why Clean Windows Matter More Than You Think
- Dirty glass refracts light, which can cause glare—especially dangerous during sunrise or sunset.
- Streaks or bug splatter on your windshield can draw your attention away from the road.
- Grime buildup on side mirrors and rear windows can affect your ability to change lanes or reverse safely.
