CDL · Night and weather
During a winter drive, ice builds up on your wipers and they can't clear the windshield anymore. What should you do?
Correct answer: Pull off safely and correct the problem.
Answer options
- APull off safely and correct the problem Correct
- BTurn on the defroster and continue driving
- CSpray washer fluid on the glass and keep going
Why
Wipers caked with ice leave you unable to see the road properly, and neither the defroster nor washer fluid will reliably free them while you keep moving. Find a safe place to stop and remove the ice before you go on.
