Keep your lights and windscreen clean

Cleaning your car might not be the most glamorous of jobs, but it's something you should endeavor to do at least once every month or so. Your lights, in particular, need to be kept in good condition and free of debris as you need to be able to see where you are going and be visible to other drivers.  Similarly, your front and rear windshields must be clear of dirt and debris at all times, so remove anything which could restrict your view and make sure you replenish your windscreen wash when needed. It should only take minutes to do these things, but they will make a big difference to your safety and the safety of other road users.
