Quickly defrost your car windscreens in the Winter without damaging them
RACT recommends using lukewarm water, plastic scrapers, and heaters to prevent windscreen damage and ensure legal clear visibility for Tasmanian drivers in winter.
- Earlier this month, the RACT advised Tasmanian motorists on do's and don'ts for safely defrosting windscreens during frosty mornings in Tasmania.
- Faced with a frozen car, many drivers try quick fixes like using hot water, but RACT warned this can crack glass and said making a 'porthole' or leaving an engine-running car unattended is illegal in Tassie.
- Start by turning on vehicle heaters and air conditioning, use a plastic scraper or cloth while the front and rear windscreen heaters and air conditioner clear frost, and ensure all windows are clear before driving.
- Avoid metal tools that can scratch windscreens, as metal scrapers and credit cards may damage glass, while Tasmanian law prohibits leaving running vehicles unattended for safety.
- As frosty mornings arrive, morning commuters often rush, making it vital to use the air conditioner to remove moisture and prevent fog for safe visibility.
