Take Your Ice Off My Windshield
Author: Joe ThompsonDuring icy conditions and snowy weather, one of the
first things that could suffer from such cold driving conditions is your car's
windshield. Of course, not only would your windshield be suffering but you would
also be experiencing such hard times while driving. When your car's windshield
gets icy and filled
with snow, the very first thing that you would experience is that your vision
of the road ahead becomes much lesser. And you know what happens when your
vision is obstructed. Your chances of getting and being part of accidents is
greater because you cannot see what you are driving into or driving through.
Clearly, if you still can see through an icy windshield, that is actually
considered to be one of the more fortunate things that can happen to you.
Because, you see, the most extreme cases of icy windshields actually mean that
the driver has no visibility at all of the road ahead, much less of the hood of
his car. His view is completely obstructed. He is like looking into a concrete
wall and not a window.
However, you can remedy this situation. Having an icy and snowy windshield is
not a reason for you keep your car parked in your garage. You still can use it
as long as you know how to de-ice your windshield. It should take no more than a
couple of minutes of your time. And after that, you would be well on your way
towards a safe drive to your destination.
To start the whole process, simply turn your car on and start up the
defroster. Make sure that you put it to the hottest setting possible. Turn on
your car's air conditioner as you turn on the defroster. Then, you should also
set the defroster fan to low setting.
Get out of your car and start brushing any snow off your car's windshield.
You can start spraying de-icing solution on the windshield. If you think it is
much too expensive to buy those that are offered in auto parts stores, you can
have your own de-icing solution. Simply take a mixture of half water and half
vinegar. And that would be it. Once you have put on the solution, start scraping
the ice off your windshield. You can use your ice scraper.
