Winter mornings behind the wheel can be stressful when you're in a rush. You're scraping ice off your windshield, brushing snow off the roof and hoping the engine starts in the freezing temperatures.
Keeping your car in a garage, using a cover, or parking with the windshield facing the sunrise can help ease the morning scramble. But you can also enlist the help of a few simple tools to clear your windshield and get ready to hit the roads – so long as conditions aren't dangerously icy.
Watch the video for the do-it-yourself way to de-ice your car windshield.
Drivers should always clear snow and ice from all windows to maximize visibility and reduce the risk of accidents. In many jurisdictions, it’s illegal to drive with only a small “peephole” cleared on the driver’s side of the windshield.
For your safety — and to avoid a ticket — it’s better to take the extra time and clear every window before driving.
