If the vehicle’s windows are covered with ice, what should the driver do?

  1. Use boiling water to clear the ice.
  2. Correct answerFully clear ice from all windows.
  3. Clear enough space in the windscreen to be able to see ahead.
  4. Drive slowly until the heater and demister have cleared the ice.

Explanation

Make sure all the windows are completely clear of ice so that the driver can safely observe road and traffic conditions all around. This is especially important when driving in slippery conditions. It is good practice to carry a can of de-icer in the vehicle and if possible to fill the washer reservoir with a de-icing agent.

如果车辆的车窗被冰覆盖,司机应该怎么做?

  1. 用沸水清除冰块。
  2. 清除所有窗户上的冰。
  3. 在挡风玻璃上清理出足够的空间以便看清前方。
  4. 慢速行驶,直到加热器和除雾器清除冰霜。

确保所有车窗完全没有冰,以便驾驶员可以安全地观察周围的道路和交通状况。这在路面湿滑时尤为重要。最好在车内携带一罐除冰剂,并尽可能将清洗液储存箱装满除冰剂。
