The colder weather often means a visit from Jack Frost.

For most of us that means getting up 10 minutes earlier to de-frost our cars.

This month we've brought you quick and easy tips for de-icing, as well as do's and don'ts when it comes to getting ice off your car.

And while there are many de-icing hacks, tricks for demisting windscreens are less known.

For those who spend a good 10 minutes de-frosting their vehicles, there's nothing worse than then having to deal with foggy windows.

The RAC explain that windscreens misting up is actually down to water vapour in the atmosphere that occurs when your body heats the air inside the cabin.

First off, it is an absolute necessity to deal with this before driving off so that your vision isn't impeded, it is also a legal requirement.

But while many of us will be tempted to blast the heating on, the RAC advise against this.

Instead they suggest starting the heater off cold and slowly increasing the temperature.

This is so the air dries out rather than the vehicle being overloaded with hot and wet air.

Make sure the heaters are facing the windows to speed this process up.

They also recommend switching your air conditioning on.

Despite many believing it's for warm weather use only, it can actually really help.

This is because when used in conjunction with the heater it will keep the atmosphere inside dry when the hot air is cooling down and condensing on the glass.

If you don't have air con, wind down your windows a little to clear it instead.
