Question 461 · Car theory test
What should a driver do if condensation is affecting the vehicle’s windows?
Pick an answer to test yourself.
Correct answer
Dry the windows with a cloth, and then use the demister system.
Official explanation
Make sure the windows are clear and clean at all times so that the driver can see the road and traffic conditions all around. Condensation on the window can seriously impair your ability to make proper observations. Drivers should familiarise themselves with how to correctly set the vehicle's ventilation system in order to keep the windows clear.
