I saw a Corsa something or other on the opposite carriageway of a dual carriageway stopped on the inside lane with it's hazards on this morning.(no hard shoulder). As I was going the other way and slowing for a roundabout I looked across to see if there was a problem. I saw she was trying to wipe the condensation from the inside of her windscreen which was also covered in ice on the outside. I declined the idea of turning round the roundabout to go to her aid.
Stupid driver.

Loads of them out this morning and plenty more will be seen over the next few months.

It isn't hard to defrost your car before moving off and saves a crash or being prosecuted.

I know, but bloody hell, it really gets my goat. Hitting these keys prevent me from slapping someone in real life, usually.

it is very annoying. think alot of the muppets that do this, set the alarm 10 mins before they leave for work, fly around indoors in a haze, rush out the door and get in the car half asleep, assuming the windows will be clear in 200 yards time and just keep going. idiots.

A guy i worked with made the mistake of leaving home, having only made a 'window' in the ice on his windscreen.

5 mins later and he hit a skip truck on the nearside at speed. Literally shaved the passenger side off the car, had anyone been sat in the passenger side they'd be clearing them up with a sponge.
