Driving with a dirty windscreen? - Start seeing clearly!

There are a number of reasons why it's imperative to operate a clean windscreen; driver and passenger safety is the most obvious one, but did you know you could also receive a hefty fine, penalty points or an insurance claim should you cause an accident!

Not only could this affect the individual driver but the repercussions could have a damaging affect on the business, its reputation and work schedule.

At CPD we think we've found the solution, and are pleased to announce that we have teamed up with Heatshot! Now providing the commercial vehicle market with the only heated fluid windscreen wash system.

Designed to help you see clearly the system provides safe driving 365 days a year no matter what the road and weather conditions are. And with our expertise at CPD we can simply fit the system without the need to modify your existing vehicle wash wipe controls so you can start seeing clearly at the push of a button.

Operating a vehicle with a dirty windscreen can have a negative impact on the driver, some of these common problems include:

• Dazzling, where light reflecting off dirt causes distracting effects.

• The detection of distances between objects on the road, thrown massively out of proportion.

• An increase in fatigue and decrease in driver performance, at a much quicker rate.

Did you know the dangers caused by a dirty windscreen often prove even more debilitating for older drivers with research showing dirty windscreens cause drivers to crash twice as often in a simulator when compared to driving with a clean windscreen.

It is fair to say then that for commercial vehicle owners who use their vehicles on a daily basis, often traveling greater distances; are more likely to be affected by a greater amount of bug, fly and road grime accumulating on the windscreen.

Improve your vehicles efficiency and avoid the "stop, start" scenario whereby the driver has to manually clean the windscreen as a result of an inadequate cold fluid system. - You wouldn't wash your glass wear in cold water at home so why wash your windscreen in it?
