Glare at night is made much worse by dirt on the glass. Even the inside of the glass can buildup a film caused by dust. Dirty glass makes lights dazzle and flash more than clean glass would, making the pupils of your eyes contract repeatedly.

Replace your windshield wiper insertswhen they show signs of streaking or missing areas on the windshield, or when strips of rubber start to separate from the inserts. Driving too fast through large water puddles or even going through some car washes can cause problems, too. r But if you can't, ty to slow down before you lut them.
