Chilly and frosty mornings leave many motorists grappling withiced-up vehicles at the start of the day. Windscreens must be completely clear before embarking on any journey, which means allowing extra time in your morning routine.

Whilst ice can be tackled using a scraper or de-icer, drivers often discover another issue once they climb into their vehicle - condensation. Moisture droplets can develop on the interior glass when warmer air inside meets the colder external atmosphere.

This forces motorists to spend additional time clearing the mist before they can safely drive away, reports the Express. Although condensation can be eliminated using heating and air conditioning systems, it's actually preventable.
