night rain
hey everyone,
when im driving home at night, and its raining, i cant see after another car has passed. i live out in the woods, but get on a route to get there, so its a 50 mph speed limit, and some curvy roads. with all the rain theres a big glare on my windshield, and for a second or too after the other car passes, i cant see anything, which is scary. i slow down, but it doesnt help much. Is it because my Tj's windshield doesnt have much slant, or something else? how can i help this? rain-x, would fog lights help? thanks for any input! Nicole |
Re: night rain
Rain-x will help, BUT we just had a big discussion on it. You might want to
look at the archives through www.google.com and check it out. I would say it was 51% against and 49% for! We all agreed that it helped but it had side effects.

Make sure your wipers are new and your windsheld is kept squeeky clean and free of dirt/bugs/etc. Fogs will help a bit but the one thing that will help more is to slow down. Speed limits are just that and they are based on dry sunny conditions, not rainy night. -- DougW |

Re: night rain

you cant see or focus on the white line its a scary thing, especially when i have 20/20 vision, maybe i have bad night eyes or something? i would think im too young for that though "DougW" <post.replies@invalid.address> wrote in message news:pj8Cb.588$pm5.401@okepread01... > Nicole Mason did pass the time by typing: > > hey everyone, > > when im driving home at night, and its raining, i cant see after another > > car has passed. i live out in the woods, but get on a route to get there, so > > its a 50 mph speed limit, and some curvy roads. with all the rain theres a > > big glare on my windshield, and for a second or too after the other car > > passes, i cant see anything, which is scary. i slow down, but it doesnt help > > much.

Re: night rain
Hi Nicole,
Buy new rubber wiper blades for winter, plastic for summer. fill the windshield washer reservoir with the correct solution. Clean windshield with denatured alcohol to remove all traces of auto waxes, window polishes, and road film that will cause a glare. Never use a house hold window cleaner.

Re: night rain
What happens if its isn't raining? Can you see or no? Is it just because
there are a million bubbles on your windshield causing you to essentially look at a very bright washed out windshield? I like rainx myself. It makes my crappy wipers work a little better and throw the water off instead of smearing it all over my windshield. If you're unsure about rainx (and this is the first time I've heard about anyone complaining about it) then put it on the passenger's side of the windshield and have a friend drive your jeep around at night when its raining with you in the passenger seat and judge for yourself if it will work. Take a multvitamin every day unless you have a medical reason not to. Certain drugs will make you sensitive to light and decrease your night vision in general. Talk to your doctor about 'em if you're taking any.

Re: night rain
if its just dark with no rain then im ok, the glare on the road in the rain
makes it so i cant focus on the white line, and when my wipers go it ------s the water out, and creates one big glare. i think ill try to rain-x and new wiper blades and super clean washer fluid. i'll set up a dr's appt. and see what they say.. if i have night blindness at 18, i'll feel like im falling apart already like my jeep :) Thanks for all the input guys!

Good wipers shouldn't ------ the water at all except maby round the edges a bit. Your wipers are hard/old. If you had night blindness ordinary night driving would affect you. One thing that can help is clear polarized driving glasses. They eliminate oncomming glare and make it easier to see for some. -- DougW |

Re: night rain
I also live in a mountainous forested area.
When the road is wet, most of the light reflects off of it, and you will only see light that hits an object and reflects back, like a skunk, rock, tree, upside-down Jeep, etc. In the worst conditions, you don't see the road at all. I have my right headlamp adjusted out to the right, so that it lights up more of the roadside. If I know where the edges are, I can stay between them. Jeep headlamps are pretty high off of the road, running foglamps as low to the ground as is practical for you would help to spot objects. If you don't off-road, or go into deep snow, mounting below the bumper would be best. You don't really need to see the pavement, it's the objects on it that cause problems. When I get near that blind spot, I look to see that there won't be a head-on, and then I look at the right shoulder of the road, and try to avoid the natural tendency of looking at the headlamps of the oncoming vehicle. -- Paul Calman, Hathaway Pines, California |
