“I can definitely say you’re not alone in having this issue! To make sure your windows don’t fog up, aim your heating or air conditioning vents away from the windshield and make sure the air isn’t on recirculate.
If possible, you can roll your windows down a crack until the fogging subsides.
Driving with fogged windows is incredibly dangerous and may lead to a
car accident
that requires you to file a claim with your
car insurance
. Never drive with fogged windows and pull over until you’ve solved the situation; remember, safety comes first.
