Motorist fined in Bonhill for driving behind misted windscreen

A motorist has been fined after they were spotted driving with a small peephole wiped clear in their misted over windscreen.

Police Scotland said the vehicle was stopped in Bonhill recently as the schools were coming out.

They said that the driver had not sufficiently demisted their windows “placing children and other road-users at risk”.

Officers shared a photo of the car windscreen misted over, with a small view hole cleared on the driver’s side, as they urged people to ensure their vehicle is safe before setting off.

The driver was issued with a £100 fine and three points on their licence.

A police spokesperson said: “When it’s cold, wet and often icy, it’s important to take extra time to make sure your vehicle is safe for the journey ahead.

“Argyll and West Dunbartonshire Police Division Road Policing Officers stopped this vehicle in Bonhill as the schools were coming out.

“The driver had not sufficiently demisted their windows placing children and other road-users at risk.”
