Cheap and easy ways to clear a frosted windscreen - including using an onion

As winter fast approaches in the UK, motorists are being offered expert advice on how to clear their windscreen and avoid a fine and possible penalty points on their licence. The motoring experts at LeaseCar.uk have provided their top tips for effectively clearing windows and windscreens on a freezing cold morning.

A spokesperson for LeaseCar.uk said: “Trying to scrape the windscreen of a vehicle on a cold and frosty morning can be a huge inconvenience, especially before setting off to work or school.
