Weather, Visibility & EmergenciesStandalone practice
A snowstorm ended overnight. Before driving to work, Carla clears her windshield and windows but leaves several inches of snow on the roof, hood and trunk. What is true?
Correct answer: She is in violation, because the roof, hood and trunk must be cleared too.
Why
Snow or ice that comes loose from a moving vehicle can strike another car or a pedestrian and cause injury or damage. The fine for driving without clearing is $25 to $75 even if nothing falls off, and for a passenger car it rises to $200 to $1,000 if dislodged snow or ice causes injury or damage. The duty does not apply while you drive through a storm that began and continued for the whole trip.
