A TIKTOK video has the internet in a spin after it brought an alarming fact to light.
The video, posted by Auto Trader UK, has racked up more than 500 likes and reveals that most drivers don't know how to use an essential button.
It features members of staff giving their top tips for winter driving, but one woman makes the shocking disclosure.
She said: "Know how and when to use your fog lights" - an essential tip which most drivers would assume they knew.
This tip could be a life saving skill as according to Car Wow fog lights are designed to aid visibility in bad weather conditions and can cut through mist, fog, rain or even dust.

Other tips shared in the video were: "If you've go an electric car make sure you set the timer so you can pre-condition the battery, get the seats all warm so the cars all ready to go when its cold."
And to have "winter screen wash so it (the screen) doesn't freeze."
Viewers were quick to spring into action to add and give their own tips.
"Avoid driving in snow storms, blizzards, on ice, etc! Stock up on the necessities & avoid nonessential driving," advised one user.
"And also know when to turn fog lights off!!!" added another.
If this winter is anything like last year then these tips will be vital to motorists as the UK was hit with several icy blasts.
