Is it acceptable to leave frost on your windshield and windows during short trips in winter?

Yes, it improves visibility
No, it is unsafe
Only if you check your mirrors
It is allowed during daytime only

The correct answer is: No, it is unsafe

Leaving frost on your windshield and windows during short trips in winter is considered unsafe for several reasons. Frost obstructs your view, which is critical for safe driving. Clear visibility is essential to identify other vehicles, pedestrians, road signs, and potential hazards. Even during short trips, you may encounter unexpected situations that require quick reactions, and impaired visibility can lead to accidents. While some might think that a short distance could justify not clearing the frost, the reality is that even brief moments of poor visibility can have serious consequences. Ensuring that all windows, including mirrors, are completely clear before driving is a basic safety precaution every driver should practice. Additionally, laws in many states may require you to clear your windows of frost and snow before driving, reinforcing the importance of this practice.
