To avoid failing either of these tests, equipment must be well maintained and driving skill must be at its best. Windshield wiper blades should clear wind shields of rain and snow without smearing. Defrosters must be working to prevent crusting of the windshield. All lights must be functioning properly. Speed must be reduced and plenty of space must be allowed between moving vehicles.
