The windshield wiper switch is located on the right-hand stalk of the steering wheel, while in a few car models it may be on the left-hand stalk. More information about car windshield wipers is as follows: 1. Function of windshield wipers: To remove raindrops and dust from the vehicle's windshield, improving driving visibility and enhancing road safety. 2. The windshield wiper assembly includes components such as an electric motor, reducer, four-bar linkage mechanism, wiper arm spindle, and wiper blade assembly. 3. When the wiper switch is pressed, the electric motor activates. The motor's rotation speed is converted into increased torque through a worm gear mechanism, which drives the wiper arm. The arm then moves the four-bar linkage mechanism, causing the shaft mounted on the front bulkhead to swing left and right. This motion drives the wiper blades to sweep across the windshield. 4. After using the wipers, it is necessary to promptly remove any ice buildup on the blades. Before parking, always turn off the wipers before shutting off the engine.

Why Should Vehicles from the Right Have the Right of Way?

According to the traffic safety laws, vehicles from the right should have the right of way at intersections without traffic signals. Below are the precautions for right-turning vehicles: 1. Penalties: If there is a dedicated right-turn lane, vehicles must not use other lanes to turn right. If a vehicle turns right from a straight lane during three red lights, it will be automatically captured by traffic cameras and penalized for running a red light, resulting in points deduction and fines. 2. Reminders: Always observe road signs and avoid relying on memory, especially in unfamiliar areas. Some places may prohibit right turns or require stopping on red to alleviate traffic pressure and divert vehicles, but clear signs will be provided. 3. Yielding to Pedestrians: Always yield to pedestrians and be aware of surroundings. While turning right, watch for pedestrians and electric scooters, slow down, and wait for them to pass before proceeding.
