2 days agoHow you could be fined for de-icing your car
Drivers who leave engines running unattended on public roads can be fined up to 1,000 and contribute to harmful air pollution.
Many drivers don't realise that some Highway Code rules become even more critical in the colder months, and breaking them could result in serious fines, penalty points, or even invalidated insurance. These aren't just safety recommendations, they're legal requirements designed to protect all road users. From clearing snow and ice from your windows and number plates, to avoiding idling and using fog lights correctly, every action contributes to safer winter driving.
