Many drivers don’t pay much attention to winter conditions, and therefore what they are allowed to do and what they should do before getting behind the wheel.
For example, if you forget to put a protective film over the glass the night before, the entire glass will be frosted. The problem occurs because the wipers freeze and “stick” to the windshield of the car.
There are things that drivers in such cases should never do. First of all, you should not drive with frosted windows because you can be fined. According to ADAC information, scraping the ice while the engine is running is not very useful either.
Other errors may occur. A combination of windshield wiper fluid and turning on the wipers can provide a cure at first glance. However, windshield wipers can break due to sudden movement. In addition, the wiper fluid is already frozen. If the wipers are moving, the question is whether the tire is doing anything against the ice at all.
But what to do now so as not to lose 20 minutes in the morning? There are two tricks that will help you.
First of all, the eve is important. Drivers can of course cover the windshield and wipers. But if you look on the streets, very few people do.
On the other hand, fortunately, there are ways to deal with frozen car windows. Vinegar is a real miracle cure for frozen windshields.
Drivers can use a mixture of water and vinegar (3 to 1 ratio) as a classic de-icing spray in the morning or spray the windshield the night before. Little or no frost forms. Of course, drivers can also use classic defrosters.
It is important that the entire windshield is free and that the wipers can be used that way. By the way, ADAC advises against using warm or hot water to defrost windscreens and wipers – at worst it will destroy the glass. And then you don’t need wipers anymore.
