Motorists are being alerted to the risk of hefty fines if they neglect to properly clean their windows and other vehicle parts before hitting the road.

LeaseCar.uk, a motoring expert group, is warning drivers about the penalties associated with driving with obscured windscreens due to road salt and spray smears, a common occurrence during the UK's adverse weather conditions.

Winter is notorious for being the dirtiest season on UK roads, with salt, grime and mud accumulating rapidly. And with Storm Éowyn now here, it's vital to make sure you keep up to date with the code.

However, failing to promptly clear your windows or windscreen could result in legal repercussions, as it can obstruct the driver's view of potential hazards.
