For most drivers, there's nothing more annoying than rushing out to work only for your windscreen to be frozen.
Having to scrape the ice off isn't only time consuming, but it also leaves your hands really, really cold.

However, someone has found a hidden away button that melts the ice in seconds.
Thanks to a tip from a TikTok account named Driving Test Success ( @drivingtestsuccess ) - who are the UK's leading provider for Theory Test revision materials - we no longer need to suffer in the freezing cold before we head to work, as it turns out you can actually get rid of the ice from inside your car as it's warming up.
Experts at Driving Test Success say you can clear ice cover by simply activating your car windscreen fan, which will heat up the glass from the inside and help to melt the frost.
In the company's video, they explained: “Frozen windscreen? Put the temperature on high.
“Put the front windscreen fan on max. The ice will start to melt from the heat. Wipe away excess water and return the fan to normal."
While the tip might seem obvious to some seasoned drivers, several commenters on the video who were new to driving couldn't believe they'd never seen the hack before.
One commenter said: "Wow, magic! The ice is gone."
And another praised the account for all their help, as they wrote: "I've learnt so much thanks to your app!"
But others were less impressed, as one TikTok user shunned the idea, stating: "Wastes more fuel. Just get [out] and scrape it off you lazy so and so.”
