"You will probably find that as soon as you get into your car on a cold day, the inside of your windscreen will condensate and you suddenly have no view in front of you. While some cars have the technology to clear windscreens straightaway, others will take time to completely de-mist before you have full visibility, and it is safe to drive off."
"Car insurance experts from Tiger.co.uk are issuing a warning that driving without fully de-misting windscreens is an illegal offence. Rule 229 of the Highway Code states drivers must be able to see, so windscreens have to be fully cleared before setting off. Failure to have full view of the road and traffic ahead can lead to £1,000 fine, three penalty points, and even disqualification from driving."
"Although it is against all instincts, something as simple as opening your car windows or running the air-con for a few minutes on a cold morning can make all the difference in beating windscreen condensation."
Moisture levels inside cars rise after rainfall, increasing the likelihood of windscreen condensation. Windscreens must be fully de-misted and cleared before setting off because drivers are required to be able to see under Rule 229 of the Highway Code. Lack of a full view of the road can result in fines up to £1,000, three penalty points, or disqualification. Complete defrosting and interior de-misting prevent dangerous limited visibility and legal consequences. Some vehicles clear windscreens quickly while others take longer, so waiting until full visibility is achieved is essential. Briefly opening windows or running the air-con can reduce condensation.
