Aerotwin keeps your windscreen clean
Rain? Hail? Snow? – The Aerotwin wipers from Bosch will take you safely through any weather. The flat design and optimized joint and arm construction, as well as Evodium suspension blades, improve the aerodynamics, minimize wind noise and prevent ice deposits. Even at high speeds, the Aerotwin sets provide the best wiping performance. Their even force distribution ensures perfect wiping on every part of the windscreen. The suspension blades are adapted precisely
to the curvature of the windscreen of each car model. These wipers can also easily be fitted to cars with conventional
wiper arms and hook-type fasteners.

Good eyesight on the road
Drivers must react quickly and be able to rely on what they
see. All drivers are legally required to ensure sufficient vision
at the wheel. Still, bad vision is responsible for 300,000 road accidents every year. Test yourself: Can you read the number plate of the car ahead at 40 meters' distance? Regular eye checks Since your eyesight deteriorates as you get older, the Bosch corporate health insurance BKK recommends that drivers test their eyes every two years. Even more important:
If you feel insecure at the wheel, we recommend you see an optician immediately to test your eyesight. Special tests for drivers check eyesight at dusk, spatial vision, contrast vision and "stereo vision", which is important for estimating distances.

Eyes need breaks
To allow tired and irritated eyes to recover on long car journeys, you should give them regular breaks – with short relaxing exercises during gas station or meal breaks. For instance: Just close your eyes for a few seconds and then open them slowly, as if you were waking up. Another option
is "palming": Warm your hands by rubbing them together. Loosely cover your eyes with the rounded surface of your palms so that no light gets through. Close your eyes,
breathe deeply and look into the darkness for a short
while.
