After an overnight storm, you clear the windshield, windows and lights, but several inches of snow and a sheet of ice stay on the roof of your car. You have only a short drive. What does New Hampshire expect you to do?
A parked blue car has cleared windows and lights but a thick layer of snow and ice remains on its roof. The view is enlarged to show the roof clearly.
Correct answer: Remove the roof snow and ice too, because loose snow can slide or fly off
Why
Since 2002, New Hampshire has required drivers to clear snow and ice from their vehicles before driving; the rule is known as Jessica's Law. Snow on the roof can slide over the windshield when you brake, and ice can break loose at speed and strike the car behind you. Under RSA 265:79-b, driving in a way that endangers people or property is negligent driving, with a fine of $250 to $500 for a first offense.
