A driver was fined £100 after they were spotted with just a ‘porthole’ wiped clear in their misted over windscreen.
Police Scotland said the vehicle was stopped in Bonhill, West Dunbartonshire as children were leaving schools last week.
The force said that the driver had not sufficiently demisted their windows ‘placing children and other road-users at risk’.
Officers shared a photo of the car windscreen misted over, with just a small view hole cleared on the driver’s side, as they urged people to ensure their vehicle is safe before setting off.
