I've never seen anyone pulled over for that.
I WISH some of the idiots on Rt 1 this morning had cleared their roofs.
But it was nice to be able to use my wipers when the snow flew off and hit my windshield.

So I hope that the 5 cars I passed on the right then cut off so that they had to slam on their brakes causing some of the snow to fall forward onto THEIR windshield appreciated the reciprocity.

I'd love for someone to put snow on my roof so I can comply.

Legit question (that’s not about me as I have a small and short car)- what to people do when they have large tall cars when the person cannot actually reach the snow on top?

Another thing you can do before it freezes is to move the car a couple of feet back and forth while braking hard. The force should knock a good chunk of it off before you get on the road. Also use a push broom from the back and push forward. My car is annoying because I'm rather short, and there are these goddamned roof-rails on my car that prevent me from pushing off the sides.

Thanks.

As I mentioned my car is easy, but my dad has a suburban and I have no idea how I would remove frozen heavy deep snow from the top of that without a ladder.

I finally have an actual garage. Like an indoor, no fucking snow on my roof garage 🙂

Feels good to not have to scrape ice nor brush off like inches of thick, heavy snow yaaay!!

Yep. Drive on 80 and 287 this morning and almost no one had bothered to do so.

Not an excuse. Sorry not sorry short kings and queens of NJ. If you can’t reach the roof of your car, buy an extended brush, step-stool, or sell your SUV/pickup truck. If you want a SUV or pickup truck you have a responsibility to clean it. End of story.

If for a house, just Don’t fall off the roof cleaning the snow. Neighbor died doing that.

They also have a responsibility to be able to competently park and drive their oversized F950 - - but that doesn't really seem to be of much concern to these drivers. They are way too busy over compensating to be concerned with stuff like the proper operation of a motor vehicle.

Oh roof of your car? I misread that and was thinking how much snow did he get that his house is in danger of collapse? 😉

My car is small but I still love the Snow Joe for pushing the snow off my car. So much faster than using just those small brushes especially when there's several inches of snow on top.

I’m 5’1” I have a Nissan pathfinder. I open the doors and stand inside the doorway of car to brush it off. It’s a bitch but I get it done. I take 2 highways to work and I don’t want ice flying off my roof going thru someone’s windshield.

I saw someone do a hard stop with 6 inches of snow on their roof, the snow fell down on their windshield and they couldn't see. Luckily this happened in a local road (30 mph speed limit), had it been on a highway it would have been an immediate accident.

If you can't be bothered to clean off your car, get one of those snow tarps.

Laziness doesn't mean you get to be an asshole.

Seriously dude, drove to jfk early morning, I can share more than 30 examples of this from my dashcam, couple of them hit me too. On SUV on 287, I think they just cleared windshield with wipers and drove onto 287, was stuck behind for a while. Same on Belt parkway.
