Winter driving conditions can be treacherous. Especially when windshield visibility is poor.

Some statistics to consider:

In Canada, 54 000 accidents per year are attributable to poor visibility. In Montreal alone, a yearly 1000 tickets have been issued for poor windshield visibility, clearing.

From the Regie d'Assurance in 1987, poor windshield visibility caused one thousand and fourteen (1014) accidents, causing $250 and more in damages each, with serious injury and even death in up to twenty of the incidents.
