Drivers have been left gobsmacked after discovering a simple trick to remove ice from windscreens in a matter of seconds.
In a viral video on TikTok, one expert account explained how drivers can clear frost by simply activating their car windscreen fan.
According to Driving Test Success, turning the fan on to max will cause the ice to melt instantly, meaning drivers do not need to stand in the cold this winter.
In the video, the experts said drivers can then turn the fan to normal once the windscreen was clear, as the Express reports.
The captions said: “Frozen windscreen? Put the temperature on high.
“Put the front windscreen fan on max.
“The ice will start to melt from the heat.
“Wipe away excess water and return the fan to normal."
The video has received hundreds of likes on TikTok with many praising the simple tip.
One person said: “Wow magic the ice is gone.”
However, another added: “Wastes more fuel.
"Just get [out] and scrape it off you lazy so and so.”
Driving Test Success is not the first to urge drivers to consider using their car heater.
In another video, Clear View Driving said road users should use their demister before they start driving.
They said: “Now don't use your windscreen wipers or washers as that won't help.
“Turn on your front and rear demister.
“The rear demister also heats up your side mirrors in most new cars.
“But if the mirrors are not clear, make sure to clear them before you start driving.
“Then, once it's done you can use your wipers.”
The AA has also encouraged road users to “turn on the warm air blower” and “heated mirrors” to clear frost cover quickly.
