UPDATE:::Snow on the car thread

[soon2be03]

hey well as of today there was one injury about a person driving with an "obstructed view/window". It appears that is the only charge that would/could get a person with snow on their cars. I was thinking there would be more and there might be after this case. The person ran a red light, hit a five year old girl, and luckley only broke her leg. He said he could not see her because of snow on the window.

Anyway, just thought I would give you all an update.

Depends on the state you are in.... I can think of Several in WI when you realize that Wisconsin treats EVERYTHING on your car as part of your load.
