Motorists have been warned that they could face fines if caught driving with fogged-up windscreens, especially as temperatures drop. Condensation on windows can reduce visibility, putting both the driver and others at risk.
Drivers are advised not to leave themselves vulnerable by driving with obstructed views. A microfiber cloth can quickly and easily clear the windscreen on colder mornings. A spokesperson from BigWantsYourCar.com highlighted that any obstruction to a driver’s view can lead to a fine. This issue is not only a winter problem, as autumn nights can cause quick condensation.
According to the Highway Code, windscreens and front windows must always be kept clean and free from obstructions. Failing to do so can result in a £1,000 fine and three penalty points on a driver’s license. A microfiber cloth is a cheap and effective safety tool.
