Be prepared to clear the windscreen by handThis was the right answer

Before you set off, you should make sure that you can see clearly through all the windows. Don't just rely on the wipers to clear the front and rear, as this will leave dangerous blind spots. If you need to, pull up safely and clear the windows by hand.
