While driving on a rainy day, the inside of the windscreen fogs up and you can hardly see ahead. What is the most appropriate action?
💡 Hint
Fogging forms when warm, humid air inside the car meets the cold glass. Think about which device reduces humidity inside and how letting outside air in or shutting it out affects moisture, and also weigh the danger of suddenly stopping in the lane you were driving in.
Answer: ①
Explanation
Fogging happens when warm, humid cabin air meets cold glass, so running the air conditioning to remove moisture, bringing in outside air and blowing air onto the windscreen clears it quickly. With the windows shut and recirculation on, humidity builds up inside and the fogging gets worse. Wiping the glass by hand while driving leaves smears and distracts you, and stopping suddenly in the lane invites a rear-end collision.
