Windshield Experts, the pioneer in car windshields, have prepared a useful mnemonic for car preparation with WET FOG. This reminds car owners that another good way to reduce risk is to allow extra time for your journey.

As nights have gone long and days shorter, driving time these days for office goers is generally during the time when it is low visibility. This period is traditionally a peak time for car accidents. Thus the mnemonic, which will remind drivers to carry on necessary checks for their vehicles before they hit the road in this wet and foggy weather.

W is for Water: Check if windshield wash bottle is full and check antifreeze level of the radiator.
E is for Electrics: Check if all your lights work, and that any battery problems are sorted out. Carry spare bulbs.
T is for tyres: When it’s raining heavily, tyres have to displace 11 litres of water per second each! That needs tread. So change tyres at 3 mm if you can.
F is for fuel: Don’t run out! Fill –up when half empty so you’ll have enough to keep warm if stranded.
O is for oil: Don’t be dipstick! Check it regularly.
G is for glass: Keep all the car glasses clean, especially your car’s front windshield. Clean the inside of the windshield also too.
