A delivery driver has revealed a hack to prevent a car windscreen from icing up - using a bottle of VODKA.

Jack Mentiply, 26, reckons he's found the perfect solution to icy car windscreens in the winter months and says it saves him anywhere between 5 and 10 minutes during his rounds.

The delivery driver claims a spray of the vodka on a car windscreen and "a few shots" in the screenwash refill, will prevent it from freezing over. "

Jack shared a video demonstrating the simple hack - and claims any "cheap" bottle of the spirit will work just as well. "

He is seen pouring the vodka on his windscreen and then filling his screen wash with the remainder of the £7.99 bottle of booze.

In the video Jack explains how alcohol "will not freeze" - therefore preventing anything icing up. "

Jack, from Albrough, Scotland, said: "I thought it was a more well-known trick to be honest. "

"It is something that I have known for quite a long time, and I have been doing it since I have been driving."

"I was outside doing it the day before I put the original video up, and my neighbour asked me what I was doing."

"Vodka is what I have always used. "

"It is very strong so I would have thought it will be the best type of alcohol to use." "

After sharing the video to his TikTok, he racked up over 1.8 million views from stunned road users.



Jack followed up with a bonus hack - showing how to create a vodka screen spray so you don't have to pour it directly.

He said: "If you get a spray bottle, and put the top part on the vodka bottle, it will last longer."

Jack said he had previously used shop-bought screen de-icer, but found it much less effective.

He suggested the timing is key and impacts how well it works - recommending drivers do it before bed.

He said: "If you go outside at night and put it on your windscreen, it is far more effective."
