Removing Snow and Ice from Vehicles before Driving

After reading John Kohl's recent post and several replies about the eastern snowstorm, I thought this may be a good time remind those leaving for warmer climates about removing snow and ice from their trucks and campers before hitting the road.

Pennsylvania law reads:

Clearing off your vehicle:

In the winter it is important to clear all snow and ice from your vehicle. Not only does it prevent a hazard from snow and ice that may fall from your vehicle, it also provides an unobstructed view.

Pennsylvania Vehicle Code Law:

3720. Snow and ice dislodged or falling from moving vehicle.

When snow or ice is dislodged or falls from a moving vehicle and strikes another vehicle or pedestrian causing death or serious bodily injury as defined in section 3742 (relating to accidents involving death or personal injury), the operator of the vehicle from which the snow or ice is dislodged or falls shall be subject to a fine of not less than $200 nor more than $1,000 for each offense.

This may apply in other states as well.
