Motorists are being warned they could be fined up to £1,000 for driving with foggy windscreens this autumn and winter. The motoring experts at LeaseLoco.com are urging drivers to wait until their windscreens and windows have fully cleared before setting off on their journeys. As the temperatures drop, car windows can become foggy from condensation, particularly in the early mornings.

Drivers must be aware of the rules of the road to help keep everyone safe and avoid mishaps like splashing pedestrians, that could end up costing them thousands or adding points to their licence. Motorists need to be extra careful when travelling in the rain, slowing down to allow more time to react to unknown situations and doubling the following distance from the vehicle in front to four seconds, as the vehicle will take longer to come to a stop on the wet road.
