Driving with an obstructed view is dangerous Larry Send a noteboard - 03/02/2011 01:33:27 PM
1. What is your opinion on the subject?

A) Awesome way to penalize someone for being stupid and/or lazy which could have deadly effects.


I would imagine that citation code could be easily applied to snow on parts of the car that could block view, especially when in motion.

B) Another stupid nanny state law.

C) Meh, I don't care- I live in a warm place that doesn't get snow much, if at all.

2. Does your state/country have a law about this already?

3. If yes, what is the penalty?


No separate penalty, but I would imagine what I said above could be applied once every 10-15 years when there is more than 5" of snowfall at any given point :P

I realize this may be a pot-stirring question, but I found it an appropriate question just after a big snowstorm.

If you're going to accept the legitimacy of traffic laws in the first place, this is okay. - 03/02/2011 04:15:37 PM 805 Views
Legitimacy of traffic laws? XD *NM* - 03/02/2011 04:21:56 PM 301 Views
I think it should a law but cops should only give written warnings - 03/02/2011 04:54:34 PM 632 Views

Aren't there already laws against driving a car with an obstructed view? *NM* - 03/02/2011 04:57:05 PM 305 Views
That's what I thought, too. - 03/02/2011 05:04:10 PM 771 Views
It seems to me that the issue isn't the obstructed view at all. - 03/02/2011 05:11:50 PM 795 Views
I guess I'd have to see some statistics on that. - 03/02/2011 06:03:02 PM 716 Views
