As temperatures drop, motorists will likely want to wrap up warm for their morning and evening commutes.
However, if you wrap up too much - to a point where it impairs your visibility or your ability to control your vehicle properly - you may find yourself facing a hefty fine.
A £5,000 fine can be doled out for wearing gloves, boots, coats, hats, and scarves if it is deemed that they impact your ability to control a car.
As reported by Birmingham Live, rule 97 of the Highway Code states drivers must have "footwear and clothing which does not prevent you using the controls in the correct manner."
As well as the huge fine, motorists could find themselves receiving up to three points on their licences.
Michael Bourne, group marketing director at National Tyres and Autocare said: "Driving in outfits that impact your driving ability could cause an accident.
"Any piece of clothing that impairs your vision or prevents you from using the car's controls, could lead to a £5,000 fine and potentially three points on your licence."
According to the Road Traffic Act, anything that obstructs the vision of a driver in any way is considered a hazard and, if caught, there is a £100 fine.
This fine can rocket up to £1,000, and lead to three penalty points if the case is challenged in court and the driver loses.
With that in mind, drivers should also consider investing in a scraper for icy mornings.
This is because windscreen wipers can be damaged by ice, rendering them ineffective and potentially leaving a motorist with obstructed vision.
