Glasses fogging up when wearing glasses

Rod and Liz from Waikanae

Hi, Being a wearer of specs which are not coated misting when I wear my mask is a real pain ,I have tried a couple of commercially produced products which do work , then I thought back to many years ago in the 1950s traveling on the buses in the UK and watching a bus driver take out a bottle of washing up liquid, smearing a little on a cloth and spreading it on the front window of the coach and then polish it off slightly till it was clear, I asked why he did it and he said it stopped his windscreen misting over. I now put a little on my finger and coat the lenses inside and out, polish them and it works, if you try it don't use to much, hope this helps

Driven On The Akatarawa Rd Lately?

Marie from Waikanae

If so, its good to know you are still alive and reading this.

We have a function to go to over Christmas up that way and having heard a few hairy stories about the road, I went up there on Thursday to check it out. The road's ok, narrow and winding, but not much worse than a Wellington hill suburb. What was pretty scary was the behavior of other drivers. Three vehicles heading the other way at speed would have crashed into me if I hadn't been pulled off the road. I had pulled in to check the address when a truck came flying past, taking up all of the narrow road at speed. There is no way the driver would have been able to stop had they come around the corner immediately in front of me. The other two drivers came hurtling past as I had turned in to turn around and come back down the hill. They were also driving at speed and taking up most of the road. Coming back down I passed another car coming up and estimate that the safe speed to pass another car was about 30-35 kms.p.h. So, now we're thinking, do we go to the function or not.? Feels a bit like we're taking our life in our hands going up there. Drivers appear to be overconfident, and they are courting serious injury.
