Winter storm Stella battered the Northeast on Tuesday and Wednesday, leaving brutal driving conditions for all drivers. But as dangerous as the snow on the ground can be for driving, sometimes the snow on your vehicle can be just as dangerous.
Driving in snow is difficult, no matter how technologically advanced your vehicle is. It’s likely far more difficult, however, if three-quarters of your windshield is covered with snow and ice. Who would do such a thing? Well, people in Massachusetts did Wednesday, and the police let them know such fragrant laziness would not be tolerated.
Sooo, this just happened. 🤦🏻‍♂️. Pls #ClearSnowBeforeYouGo.

We’re not sure what this person was thinking. But as bad as their attempt at clearing their windshield was, at least they weren’t carrying the entire snowstorm with them.
@MassStatePolice reminding you to #ClearSnowBeforeYouGo. Dangerous to other drivers and tough on your wallet. pic.twitter.com/6qZUH4frv4

It’s unfortunate some people seem to forget, but not clearing snow off your vehicle puts yourself and others on the road in danger.
