If you can't see where your mirrors are, windows down, windows up usually works.
yes but for the heating system to work the engine needs to be running and driving with misted up windows is both stupid and dangerous so normally a short period idling (5 mins or so) will sort it out if the engine is cold, so,if this does become a offence we will have to break the law to obey the law
