I've seen people driving with 16'' of snow on their roofs and bonnets, with hardly any space to see through the windscreen. Have seen a few near misses already

In fairness 6/7" of snow falling off a roof of the car when driving is a hazard. The punishment seems harsh but it doesnt take long to clear the top of your car

Luke
The prob is people dont think about the top, just about getting of their drive or side of the road.

I saw some idiot driving yesterday, his car was covered in snow, apart from the windscreen. He had no regard for the safety of the driver behind him.

Good, a pillock smashed right by the pub I was in last night because snow fell from his roof over his windscreen. Some daft sods around in this weather.

I did think they might have been hoarding it to sell on ebay

Do they fancy giving a £60 fine and 3 points to dickheads who walk down the middle of the road in these conditions with their head phones on and don't f*cking move when you beep your horn? f*cking pricks. Really wind me up they do.

I agree if you get some clown with loads of snow on the roof etc being dangerous for the drivers behind but what's the legal limit ( :shock: ;) No doubt the Old Bill will be out in force against drivers again :roll:

Yeah cos God forbid that the police try to prevent an accident. How dare they. In all honesty, if someone is driving around with 6in of snow on their car, they deserve to be booked.

If you read my post again you'll find that I agree. But the OB have a tendency to penalise the motorist at every opportunity, hence my question "What's the legal limit".

Completely fair enough
An extra 30 seconds of cleaning can save a life :ayatollah:

There are some very strange laws regarding snow throughout Europe and the former Socialist Countries. In Bulgaria you can drive around with 20 feet of snow on your roof, but have a few flakes on your brake lights and its the Gulag! You can also be fined/imprisoned for having a "dirty car" although I didn't manage to test that one prefering to do my "dirty" business elsewhere ;)

Would be interesting to see if the police's burglary detection rates have gone up during the inclement weather. Doesn't take Inspector Morse to work out how to follow the footprints in the snow.............. :lol:

I wouldn't agree. I have been driving for 4 years and only once been done by the police. If your caught doing something wrong, then you deserve to be done. So I don't understand why you are implying that the police will try to book anyone they can.

The idiot who I was referring to earlier.....forgot to mention he was on his mobile at the same time :evil:

I told my lad to clean is the top of his car .He's got a HGV license but is thick as shit.
Thawing snow falling on your windscreen for even a split second causes a break in your road vision.You could get killed or kill some poor innocent bugger.
Get the frost of all your lights as well. :old:
