You probably haven't missed it: it's freezing cold again. Scraping is back in the day, and it looks like it's going to stay that way for a while. As you've come to expect from us, we're writing some useful tips to help you get on the road as smoothly as possible.

The most logical tip is to be careful. It's pretty obvious. There's nothing more annoying than accidentally damaging your car, so keep the following tips in mind when you get in the car.

Scratch, cover and handle with care

Last winter we already wrote about scraping and the best way to defrost your car This means taking your time, using the air conditioner to blow air into the interior window, not pouring boiling water on your windows, and ensuring they are clean and free of grease. 

A better idea is to cover your windshield with a frost blanket. Then you don't have to scrape at all. You'll have to run the air conditioning, because the inside window will fog up. We wrote about this here previously also tips aboutDid you know, by the way, that you can be fined for driving with poor visibility?

And when you arrive at your frozen car, be careful. Because your door seals may be frozen, you run the risk of tearing them off if you open the door too quickly. So proceed with caution. Or spray WD-40 on the seals, which is much easier.

Mileage registration always runs smoothly

One of the things you as a driver don't have to worry about is your GPS tracker. The mileage registration always worksWhether it's freezing or 30 degrees Celsius, the start, stop, and exact route are neatly tracked for you and can be easily exported to Excel, PDF, and a file for the tax authorities. This way, you don't have to log kilometers and trips in that cold car with your gloves on.
