Does insufficient windshield washer fluid affect driving?

Insufficient windshield washer fluid does not directly affect driving, but it may impact driving safety. In dusty environments or when driving on highways during rain, the windshield can become blurry. Without washer fluid, using the wipers alone will not clean the windshield effectively, posing a significant safety risk. Windshield washer fluid is primarily composed of surfactants, disinfectants, polishing agents, imported penetrants, and unique brightening factors. This high-tech, eco-friendly liquid tile cleaner features strong dirt removal, penetration, disinfection, and polishing properties, enabling it to quickly and thoroughly clean car glass surfaces, baffles, and the vehicle body.
Driving with low windshield washer fluid isn't a big issue in the short term - I've driven for ten years and can speak from experience. But when it rains or there's mud on the road, problems arise. You can't clean a dirty windshield without fluid, and blurred vision is extremely dangerous. Last time on the highway, my windshield got covered in mud - couldn't see the lane markings and nearly had an accident. Plus, frequently running the pump dry can damage it - repairing the motor costs several hundred yuan! Just glance at the fluid level before driving; even adding bottled water at gas stations is better than nothing - filling up takes just half a minute. Remember, vehicle maintenance manuals all specify regular checks of washer fluid - this isn't money you should try to save.
