TYhis is a good law. It is unfortunate that a law like this is required because people just refuse to use a little common sense.

This law was specifically made for those motorist driving in a convertible. / imagine the snow that gets thrown at him if the car in front of him won’t clean before he starts driving.

I have been behind cars & trucks who have had massive chunks of ice come crashing down to the point where I had to swerve to avoid getting creamed by the flying hazard. While the case of #5 is extreme, it does make sense.

Flying, hardened snow is DANGEROUS. Aside from momentarily blinding the car behind, it can crack windshieldof car following.

Mindless uninformed cynics – the requitement is a good one. Snow blowing off cars causes a significant number of accidents each year, especially when caked into hard pack after sitting in the sun on a vehicle roof for many hours. Truckers have long been subject to a requirement to remove snow from trailers, and many midwestern and New England states already require snow to be removed freom cars.

In NY, there is such a law on the books. I was driving on the Triborough Bridge in 2006 during a snow storm, and a NYC Police car – Triborough Bridge cop pulled me over for 4 violations: 1) crossing a double white line, even though I could not see it during a blizzard 2) failing to blink while changing lanes – although I didn’t know I was changing lanes, becuse I couldn’t see the lanes, 3) failing to remove snow from my license plate 4) failing to remove snow from my bumper. The case went to court, and I was found guilty of 3 out of 4 violations. The blinking violation was thrown out, because the Judge could not believe, that during a blizzard the officer would notice my care blinking or not.

What happens if it snows while you are driving? Must one stop the car every five minutes to sweep off the snow?
Are these clown for real?
