Driver comes up with genius hack to de-ice your car and keep you warm

The North East has seen its fair share of cold weather of late.

And drivers are frequently waking up to ice on their cars as temperatures plummet.

However, one man might have just made that morning task a lot easier after he coming up with a genius way of doing it.

Daniel Harris shared his idea on social media and people are loving it.

Remember, using hot water on your frozen windscreen can cause it to crack. Here is our guide to how to de-ice your car without breaking the law.

So instead of using a can of de-icer and a scraper, Daniel fills a sandwich bag with warm water.

He then simply drags it over the windows and watches the ice melt immediately.

He wrote: "Hot water in a food bag and bam you've got a de-icer and a hand warmer. Works a treat, and it's fast!"

He added: "I used warm tap water so I could safely hold it and lower the risk of cracking my screen.

"The de-icer cans are so cold in the morning and this way keeps you nice and toasty. Oh and yes it was ice not condensation.

"I know it looks it but try it and you won't be disappointed."
