How to Deal with Fogging While Driving

Wipe the glass with high-concentration dishwashing liquid. Purchase some specialized anti-fog products online and spray them on areas of the car prone to fogging. Turn on the heater or air conditioner to raise the temperature of the glass or lower the temperature inside the car.
Foggy windows while driving are indeed quite common, especially during winter or after rain when humidity is high. With years of driving experience, my go-to solution is to immediately turn on the air conditioning defogging mode, increase the airflow, and direct it toward the windshield—this quickly removes moisture and fog. If the fogging is mild, I slightly open the window to improve air circulation, but only on safe stretches of road. I never wipe the windows while driving—it’s too dangerous. If the fog persists, I slow down and pull over to address it safely. To prevent fogging, I usually run the external air circulation for a few minutes after starting the car to reduce humidity. Before rainy days, applying a soapy water solution to the inner windows creates an anti-fog layer that lasts. Regular window cleaning also minimizes grease buildup, reducing frequent fogging. Safety comes first—I maintain a low speed until the fog clears completely and visibility is fully restored before accelerating. These small tricks make my drives safer and smoother, helping avoid accidents.
