What areas should be checked to ensure driver visibility is unobstructed?

To ensure that driver visibility is unobstructed, checking the windows, mirrors, and windshield wiper condition is crucial. Windows must be clear of any obstructions, dirt, or damage that could impede the driver’s view of the road and surrounding environment. Mirrors should be properly adjusted and free from cracks or misalignment, allowing the driver to have a comprehensive view of the traffic behind and on the sides of the vehicle.

Additionally, the condition of the windshield wipers affects visibility during inclement weather. Worn-out wiper blades can leave streaks or fail to clear water effectively, severely hindering visibility. Therefore, thorough inspections in these areas are essential for safe driving and maintaining adherence to vehicle safety standards.
