    One-button trick defrosts car's windscreen and melts ice in minutes

    3 weeks ago

    Driving Test Success experts have explained that drivers can defrost their windscreens by simply turning on their car's windscreen fan. Cranking this up to the maximum will cause the ice to melt instantly, saving drivers from braving the cold this winter. In a TikTok video, Driving Test Success advised drivers to return the fan to normal once the windscreen is clear, reports the Express. The captions read: "Frozen windscreen? Put the temperature on high. Put the front windscreen fan on max. The ice will start to melt from the heat. Wipe away excess water and return the fan to normal." The video has garnered over a thousand likes on TikTok, with many users praising the straightforward tip. User 'samer' commented: "Wow magic the ice is gone." However, user 'MishMash82' countered: "Wastes more fuel. "Just get [out] and scrape it off you lazy so and so." Driving Test Success experts aren't the only ones encouraging drivers to utilise their car heaters. In another video, Clear View Driving suggested road users should activate their demister before setting off. They advised: "Now don't use your windscreen wipers or washers as that won't help. Turn on your front and rear demister. The rear demister also heats up your side mirrors in most new cars. But if the mirrors are not clear, make sure to clear them before you start driving." The AA has also advised motorists to "turn on the warm air blower" and "heated mirrors" to quickly remove frost. They suggested: "Start the engine and turn on the warm air blower on the windscreen. Switch on the rear windscreen heater and heated mirrors, if you have them. "Then, once it's done you can use your wipers. Turn on the air-con. It's not just for summer - it'll remove moisture from the air to stop the car from misting up. "Don't use your hands to wipe misted-up windows - you'll leave greasy smears and a diamond ring could scratch the glass. Use a lint-free absorbent cloth if necessary. "Stay with your car the whole time while the engine's running."
