It takes maybe 1 minute to get back in the car (if necessary), back into the driving seat and start the engine, does it not? That gives another 3 minutes with your engine running for you to pull out...

It's even easier if your car has electric windows.. Just put the rear window down then up again.. It should clear the window enough for SOME visibility to be restored.

Finally, if you know the weather will be frosty, what about covering the windows at night? It does work.

and to check over my shoulder for traffic on the main road when filtering onto it or when changing lanes on crowded roads.
Surely your engine would already be running at this point?
