Police: Not clearing snow off cars is dangerous and fineable

WORCESTER, Mass. — With every comes an important reminder from the Massachusetts State Police: clear all of the snow off your car before driving.

Following the storm that dumped more than a foot of snow across the state, police took to social media posting some of the most egregious offenders.

State Police even shared a video tutorial to help drivers who aren't quite sure what to do.

Earlier on Wednesday, a North Reading ambulance was damaged when a chunk of ice fell off a car and smashed into the windshield.

In Medway, police stopped an SUV with blocks of snow on the hood and roof of the vehicle.

"Obscured views and snow covered roofs are not only dangerous, they're finable offenses and our officers are out there looking to make these stops," the post from Medway PD said.

A reminder. Please take a few moments to clean off your car before heading out. Obscured views and snow covered roofs...
