A driving expert revealed a simple trick to clear your car windscreen from the comfort of your heating-up vehicle, using the car's internal heating system.
Just when we were getting our hopes up for spring, the weather's taken a chilly turn with frosty mornings bringing ice and snow instead of blooming flowers. With this unexpected turn, parts of the UK found themselves covered in a wintry blanket, leading to a frost-covered start to the day that could delay your morning commute.
However, there's no need to brace the cold and scrape away as a driving expert has revealed a nifty trick to clear your car windscreen from the comfort of your heating-up vehicle. The pros at Driving Test Success (the top choice for UK Theory Test study materials) posted a life-saving video on their TikTok - @drivingtestsuccess - and shared the simple steps: Crank the temperature high, turn the fan up, and let the interior heat work its magic on the ice. In their own words: 'Frozen windscreen? Put the temperature on high. Put the front windscreen fan on max. The ice will start to melt from the heat. Wipe away excess water and return the fan to normal.' It might be a well-known tip for the experienced driver, but for many social media users, this defrosting revelation is nothing short of sorcery. One amazed viewer exclaimed: 'Wow, magic! The ice is gone.' 'Frozen windscreen? Put the temperature on high,' reports the Mirror. 'Put the front windscreen fan on max. The ice will start to melt from the heat. Wipe away excess water and return the fan to normal.' One user was clearly delighted with the helpful tips from the account, commenting: 'I've learned so much thanks to your app!'. Yet, not everyone shared the same enthusiasm – a TikTok critic dismissed the advice, saying, 'Wastes more fuel. Just get and scrape it off you lazy so and so.' The Driving Test Success team isn't the only one offering this handy de-icing hack; another social media favourite, Clear View Driving, similarly advised in a viral video to engage the demister before setting off. Their recommendation: 'Now don't use your windscreen wipers or washers as that won't help'
