Motorists heading for the countryside for a leisurely drive have been warned about keeping their windscreens clean, as a muddy window can result in a hefty fine.
If you're not used to driving over hilly terrains or through the woods, then you will likely not be aware of how much these conditions can dirty your vehicle. If caught with a filthy windscreen - even with a gap cleared with the wipers - this may land you with a £2,500 fine, three penalty points and even get your car taken off the road.
More and more people are venturing out into rural areas during their leisure time as the weather improves following a bitterly cold start to the year. But automotive experts at Select Car Leasing have warned this could be inadequate and land you in hot water.
