Drivers are being warned to not drive off until they have completed these five steps
The AA is urging drivers to stop using online hacks and to instead to follow a quick simple guide which will ensure they don't damage their vehicle. Car owners are being bombarded with so-called hacks online that may look like they work, but in fact do not.
They are not the only experts to issue a warning with the gurus from Windscreen Wipers stressing drivers need to stop falling for online hacks. The experts caution: "Using water of any temperature to de-ice windscreens is not advised. Hot water will cause the glass to expand, which can result in it cracking or even shattering, and cold water can freeze on top of existing ice and frost. Both methods can damage your windscreen, sometimes beyond repair.
2. Start the engine When you start the engine, you should turn on the warm air and face it towards the windscreen, and if you have them you can now also turn on your heated mirrors and rear windscreen.
