Van driver reported for partially-clear windscreen
Essex Police officers stopped a van in Harlow after noticing they had only bothered to de-ice a very small section of the windscreen.
Officers conducted the vehicle stop last night when temperatures in Harlow reached overnight lows of around -2 degrees Celsius.
Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Essex speaks to John Johnson, a former Met Police officer from Billericay.
On its website, the RAC says:
"Failure to properly clear the windscreen of snow or ice could result in the driver receiving a fixed penalty notice under the CU20 penalty code.
"Using a vehicle with parts or accessories in a "dangerous condition" could result in a fine of Β£60 and three penalty points.
"Simply removing the ice from the driver’s side of the windscreen is not enough – you must de-ice the entire area, using the wipers when the ice has melted."
