Drivers who set off with frosted windscreens this winter are being warned they not only risk lives but a criminal record.
WMP are reminding motorists that getting behind the wheel while unable to see clearly is never acceptable and can lead to serious or fatal collisions.

The driver of this Volkswagen van left a woman with multiple fractures and internal bleeding after hitting her near the corner of Brays Lane, Coventry, in January 2019.
Gavin Nash’s windscreen was only partially cleared of frost meaning he was unable to see the 59-year-old woman as he moved his vehicle.
She was knocked to the ground and her body was trapped under a wheel. She spent almost two weeks in hospital and suffered on-going struggles as a result of the collision.

Nash admitted causing serious injury by dangerous driving and was this week given a suspended 18 month prison-term and banned from the road for two years.
The 48-year-old, of Brays Lane, was also ordered to pay £8,000 compensation and complete 80 hours of unpaid work following a hearing at Birmingham Crown Court on Monday (2 November).
PC Jordan Keen, from the traffic investigation unit which brought the case to court, said: “This is the time of the year where cars do frost over and it’s imperative your windows are clear before driving off.
“Although it can be time consuming, and cold waiting, the consequences of not being able to see clearly can be devastating.
“In this case the driver wasn’t going fast, and was travelling a short distance, but he had only cleared a small part of the windscreen. Not being able to see clearly resulted in an innocent woman sustaining serious injuries, which have continued to impact on her life.
“It’s not worth the risk, it may take an extra few minutes to clear the windows but you need to make sure you’re driving safely. You owe it to pedestrians and other road users.
“This driver now has a criminal record, has been banned from the road and left with a large compensation bill. The risk has proven very costly.”
