Motorists warned to be vigilant when de-icing their car

Motorists are being warned to stay on the lookout for carjackers as they de-ice their vehicles, uSwitch.com has warned.

It is estimated that as many as 42 per cent of motorists will keep their car running while they are waiting for the ice to clear off their windscreen, leaving them at risk of 'frost-jacking'.

Many of these people will wait indoors for their car to de-ice, which leaves them in a vulnerable position should someone choose to take their vehicle.

This is despite 16 per cent of people admitting that they are concerned about the safety of their vehicle when it is left unattended with the engine running.

Mark Monteiro, insurance expert at uSwitch.com, said: "Insurers are likely to take a dim view on a claimant who has left themselves vulnerable to crime in this way."

Having their car stolen may not be the only thing that is worrying drivers lately. The price comparison site has noted that the roads have been damaged by the bad weather seen this winter, which is making driving conditions difficult.
