Important advice here

Plummeting temperatures in the UK have caught countless drivers out this winter and highlighted the need for car maintenance. The poor driving conditions have led to record demand for breakdown assistance, according to the RAC, which said that Monday was 'officially our busiest day for breakdowns on record'.

The reason for the peak? Well, according to Rod: “We believe two key ingredients have combined to create the worst-ever winter breakdown cocktail – a sustained period of cold weather with an absence of widespread snow that would otherwise keep people indoors, and a big rise in the number of drivers who can’t afford to maintain their vehicles as well as they’d like to due to the pandemic and the cost of living crisis."Prioritising safety is a must for drivers and everyone can do their bit.

The expert said: "Too much water could end up freezing your windscreen washer system, as dilution ratios for winterweatherare completely different from the summer." Your best bet is to follow the instructions on the bottle, but the expert also has advice for checking you are using the right amount of water.

The expert advises using a scraper, instead. You'll also want to avoid using boiling water. "Defrost your windows and windscreen correctly- using boiling water directly on the glass could cause it to crack. Instead, try heating your windscreen from the inside of the car and using a scraper, or de-icer," the expert said.
