flag UK drivers can be fined £100 and get 3 points for dirty windshields or mirrors, with higher fines if contested.

flag UK drivers face a £100 fine and three penalty points for driving with leaves or debris on their windscreen or mirrors, with fines rising to £1,000 if contested. flag The Highway Code requires clear visibility, and any obstruction—like dirt or leaves—can be deemed dangerous, potentially leading to disqualification or prison time if it causes an accident. flag Legal experts say drivers must meet the standard of a careful and competent motorist, and impaired visibility may result in charges of careless or dangerous driving. flag The AA recommends using clean, lint-free materials like microfibre cloths and glass cleaner to avoid smudges or scratches. flag Drivers are urged to keep windshields clear, especially in autumn, to prevent accidents and legal consequences.
