Weather, Visibility & EmergenciesStandalone practice
After a snowstorm, you clear the windshield, the side windows and the mirrors. Snow still covers the roof, the hood and the taillights. What should you do before you drive?
Blue A has clear windshield, side windows and mirror glass after a snowstorm. Snow still covers the roof, hood and rear light lenses. No cleared example is shown.
Correct answer: Clear the roof, hood and lights as well, and then drive
Why
Snow and ice that fly off a moving car can hit the windshield of the car behind it and cause a crash. Clear the front and rear lights so that other drivers can see your signals and brake lights. Watch for ice on bridges and in shady areas, because bridges freeze before other road surfaces.
