If you aren't able to park your car in a garage, winter mornings are even more inconvenient as you have to spend time defrosting your car before setting off.

Currently, the average night is -3 or -4 degrees Celsius, which makes things pretty icy. One of the practical setbacks of the icy weather is that your car windows are likely frozen.

RTL explored what kind of options there are when it comes to defrosting cars, and what should be avoided.

RTL tested the three most common ways to defrost your car: a credit card, an ice scraper, and a defrosting spray. All seem to work relatively well.

Now a credit card may not send like a sanctioned method, but it is certainly useful if you don't have anything else on you. Before the introduction of streaming, people might have used CD boxes, but now you just need to rely on your credit card.

The issue with using a credit card, as well as the ice scraper, is that your fingers will get very cold. This in turn makes it harder to hold onto the steering wheel. Some try to avoid that unpleasant feeling by putting the heating on in their cars before setting off, which is actually illegal. If a police officer catches a motorist doing this, the luxury will cost them €49.

The easiest option is definitely a defrosting spray as the alcohol in the spray works quickly and you don't get your fingers cold.

Another way to defrost your car is one that pops up on the internet, which is to use boiling water. However, the swift temperature change can cause cracks in your glass. Perhaps one to avoid.

Lazier motorists might just defrost part of the window allowing them to see the road. This is also banned and could cost €79 if a police officer notices.
