🚗❄️ Think twice before reaching for that kettle this winter! The RAC is urging drivers to avoid using hot water to defrost icy windscreens. Pouring boiling water on your car windows can lead to cracking due to the temperature shock—definitely not the way you want to start your morning!
Instead, get ahead of the frost by placing an old towel or windscreen cover over your car at night. This not only saves time but also keeps your windscreen safe from potential damage.
The RAC suggests allowing about 10 minutes to properly clear your windscreen using a scraper and de-icer. Remember, keeping clear visibility all around is crucial for safe driving. For those annoying interior mists, start your heater with cold air and gradually warm it up as the moisture disappears.
If you’re looking to prevent frost right from the get-go, a piece of dry cardboard secured with your wipers can work wonders in a pinch. Got a garage? Use it! Or park as close to your house as possible to use the residual heat to your advantage.
Don’t let winter catch you off guard—stay smart, stay safe, and keep your mornings hassle-free! 🌨️🧣 #WinterDriving #CarCareTips #SafeDriving
