I hate winter sometimes, especially when I see people like the ones I saw this morning on the road. Now, we had a big snowstorm here yesterday (see post below). Most people who live through winters in New England know that when it snows, your car gets covered. And when your car gets covered, you need to clean it off to drive safely. In fact, at least in Connecticut, it is the law. Now, I’ll admit, I’ll leave snow on top of my car if it’s just a dusting, maybe half an inch. But, we had over 6 inches yesterday. There is no excuse for people not to clear off their car. I don’t care how late you are, it is in everyone’s best interest that you clean your car. Imagine driving on the highway and having a huge chunk of snow come flying at you with no warning. I can understand if you have a large SUV or truck that you may not be able to get every speck of snow off the top, and that’s fine, as long as you get off what you can. However, it’s almost always the tiny little sedans I see that still have 6 inches of snow on top of the car. If the people with the SUVs can get their cars clean, I’m pretty sure you can clear off your tiny little sedan. Yet without fail, every storm brings these drivers. This morning alone, I saw at least one car with snow all over the top, one car with a full load of snow covering the back windshield, and one that was completely covered except for part of the front windshield. That is just plain dangerous. Please people, please, clean off your cars!
