With colder weather just around the corner, drivers are being urged to prepare for frost and fog.
Driving in winter can be a real nightmare, especially early in the morning or late at night when you have to tackle frost or fog on the windscreen.
Experts at John Clark Motor Group have admitted using the vegetable can help prevent heavy frost build-up and even stop windscreens from fogging, the Express reports. “The starch in the potato acts as a barrier between the glass and the air and can help with that all too common issue of your windscreen fogging up, making it hard to see.”
“Take a potato and cut it in half and then rub it on your car’s windshield. The sugar from the potato will create a barrier over the window that will help prevent ice from forming. The next morning simply rinse and wipe with your wipers.” Top Trending Stories Today Los Angeles based "Bezerra Good Tips" also showed the starch helped clear water off a windscreen in the event of heavy rainfall - which is expected to hit Scotland in the coming days thanks to Storm Babet.
“Now I'm going to go ahead and put water where we applied the potato… The water comes down like a curtain, not like the other side.”
