Drivers are being urged to clear their windscreens safely - or risk breaking the law
Motorists are being warned not to drive off without properly defrosting their windscreens during winter as doing so could result in a run in with the police.
It comes after Police Scotland were forced to stop a driver back in February 2021 who had cleared a small patch of snow from the windshield, while leaving the rest of the vehicle entirely covered in the white stuff. He said: “Most motorists know that driving with ice or snow on their windows is illegal and dangerous, so I really don’t understand why so many are needlessly putting themselves at risk.
Many also understand the dangers but flout them anyway - with one in six, or 17 per cent, admitting they have driven with so much ice or snow covering their windscreen that they "knew it was dangerous".
