A man has been fined after driving his car with a tiny section of ice scraped off the windows.

Sussex Police pulled over the driver in Civic Way, Burgess Hill, on Sunday morning.

The windscreen and side windows had small sections cleared of ice.

A Sussex Police spokesman said: “We stopped the driver of this car over the weekend in Burgess Hill who thought it acceptable to drive with only clearing this small area of windscreen and side windows.

“A ticket was issued and windows cleared before he went on his way.”
