Keep your windshield clean

Waiting at a drive through I watched an attractive, well-dressed woman carrying a baby with two laughing and smiling young children in tow exit a coffee shop and enter a high-end SUV. She took her time getting each child buckled in, then climbed in. What concerns me is that this $50,000-plus SUV was filthy! With the sunlight reflecting off of the windshield, I couldn't see her behind the wheel.

I know this time of year it's difficult to keep a vehicle clean, but keeping windows and mirrors clean needs to be high priority. Squeegees can be bought most anywhere and kept at home. A little water from the garden hose and some elbow grease might save your life someday.
