A driving expert suggests a convenient way to defrost car windscreens during cold weather: simply turn on the car's windscreen fan to warm the glass from within and melt the frost. This method, demonstrated in a TikTok video, allows drivers to de-ice their vehicles without stepping outside.
As temperatures are set to take a nosedive, the UK is gearing up for a frosty period with heavy snow expected in many regions. The chilly weather will likely lead to many of us discovering our car windscreens encased in ice upon waking.
Driving Test Success, known for their Theory Test revision resources, posted a TikTok video on their account @drivingtestsuccess, demonstrating how to defrost your windscreen by turning on the car's windscreen fan. This method warms the glass from within, aiding in melting the frost, reports Birmingham Live.
While some may find this tip self-evident, numerous social media users expressed astonishment at not having tried this trick earlier. One individual exclaimed: "Wow, magic! The ice is gone." Another praised: "I've learned so much thanks to your app! " However, there were sceptics, with one commenter arguing: "Wastes more fuel. Just get and scrape it off you lazy so and so.
Instead, they recommend: "Turn on your front and rear demister. The rear demister also heats up your side mirrors in most new cars. But if the mirrors are not clear, make sure to clear them before you start driving. Then, once it's done you can use your wipers."
