UK Outlets Amplify TikTok '10-Second' Windscreen Defog Tip as RAC Backs Method

The RAC warns that driving without a fully clear windscreen is illegal.

Overview

  • The TikTok clip advises turning on air conditioning, selecting fresh air intake, directing airflow to the windscreen, and activating the rear window heater.
  • The creator claims the process can clear condensation in about 10 seconds, a timeframe reported by outlets but not independently verified.
  • The RAC recommends using air conditioning together with the heater to dry the cabin air and help prevent misting on the glass.
  • The motoring group also suggests applying shaving foam to the windscreen as a temporary anti-fog barrier that requires periodic reapplication.
  • Coverage notes that the method may feel cold for a short time, and reports highlight that fines can result if drivers set off with obscured visibility.
