Best Answer

Think about it. It's grey out. Rain is falling. Visibility is reduced. You need your lights on so OTHER DRIVERS CAN SEE YOU! Depending on the rain other cars may be hard to see in the rain. It is a safety measure. It should really be "You need your lights on when visibility is reduced." However, as I have learned as a professional driver, most drivers are not that smart, and it is too open-ended. So they made it "Wipers on Lights on."

Would tube socks put on the windshield wipers actually freeze to the windshield themselves?

I use to put cardboard on the glass under the wipers, leaving the wipers laying on the cardboard to hold it in place. Unless it is raining, the cardboard does not get soggy, and does not freeze to the windshield and the wipers do not freeze to the cardboard. I lived in PA for 38 years so I have dealt with ice and snow. Then I wised up and moved here to Arizona. 70 degrees today..................sorry to tell you! You could also put a sheet of plastic between the wipers and windshield. You have to start with a dry windshield and wipers so the plastic or cardboard does not freeze to either.
