With temperatures dropping across the UK it’s important to ensure any vehicle is safe and free of any frost or snow in the morning. It can be frustrating to deal with a car covered in frost but there are some ingenious quick and easy steps to take to get on the road faster.
Warm-up your car key
For any cars not fitted with keyless entry, a frosty morning can be an issue due to frozen locks.
A simple way around this is to gently heat the car key with a match or lighter.
Together with some applied pressure, this will melt any frost around the lock and allow the key to slide in.
Another option is to breathe onto the lock through a drinking straw.
