Frosty windscreens plague UK drivers as temperatures plummet to -7°C
Temperatures have dropped sharply across the UK, with some areas hitting -7C. Iced-over car windscreens are now a widespread issue as the Met Office issues snow and ice warnings.
Frosty windscreens can be tackled without expensive tools. Common kitchen items like sliced potatoes, onions, lemon juice, or white vinegar can help reduce ice build-up. A simple spray bottle filled with rubbing alcohol or methylated spirits mixed with water also works well.
With freezing conditions set to continue, drivers have several safe and affordable ways to keep their windscreens clear. Using the right methods avoids damage while ensuring legal and safe visibility before setting off.
