<\/p>\n

Drivers can demist their car windscreen in seconds this autumn and winter using a cheap 50p item available from almost every shop in the country.<\/p>\n

According to experts at LeaseCar, a microfibre cloth is one of the easiest ways to clean away condensation when sitting inside the vehicle.<\/p>\n

Microfibre cloths can be purchased for less than \u00a31 with Tesco selling a four-pack for just \u00a32 on the high street.<\/p>\n

An eight-pack of microfibre cloths can also be purchased online at Amazon for just \u00a35.50 meaning each cloth is around 68p.<\/p>\n

The motoring specialists have also suggested paper towels could be used for a simple homemade fix.<\/p>\n

LeaseCar explained: \u201cUsing a microfibre cloth or paper towels can be an effective option to remove any moisture inside the car. It\u2019s best to wipe in circular motions to avoid smudging.\u201d<\/p>\n

Condensation forms on a car windscreen when warm air inside the vehicle meets cool air outside.<\/p>\n

This is why windscreens are more likely to steam up when temperatures drop later on in the year.<\/p>\n

Rule 229 of the Highway Code clearly states that motorists must ensure their windscreen is completely clear before setting off.<\/p>\n

Failing to completely clear all of the mist from your windscreen and windows may leave motorists vulnerable and a road safety risk.<\/p>\n

Tim Alcock, spokesperson for LeaseCar explained: \u201cDrivers should always make sure to completely de-mist their windscreens before setting off or risk being slapped with a fine of up to \u00a32,500 for breaking the Highway Code.<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t be tempted to just leave a small gap to see what is directly in front, as you could still be fined for careless driving by not being able to see the full road view ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n

The warning comes as temperatures plummet across the UK with the first widespread frost of the year sweeping across the nation.<\/p>\n
