Just to give anyone who hasn't heard from tomorrow it is rumored that the police will be pulling over any drivers with snow on their roof and fine them £60 and 3 points. 1972 998 TURBO SLEEPER |

The Highway code does state "remove all snow that might fall off into the path of other road users" 229.

As usual, the police are trying to apply common sense to cold weather driving. Some clueless idiot will have been stopped and fined and then the rumours start... On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

I heard this from one of my police mates up here on Tuesday night - its apparently all about idiots driving around with a ton of snow on the roof of the car and dumping it on the road/ car behind and causing accidents in the process |

Don't blame snow on the roof/road. Blame stupid people driving without winter tyres... On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:

Thing of the costs of all the accidents, not only fiscal. Especially in these environmental times, this is plain silly. On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:

The problem in the UK is tha this level of prolonged snow is unusual, so enforcing winter tyres will never happen.

I think the idiots that drive round without clearing the screen and windows are more of a hazard.

Same goes for the people that stick their sat navs smack in the centre of the windscreen. Creates a massive blind spot, but as long as they can get to work... On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

The ones I think need pulling over are those who clean the windows but leave the bonnet and all the lights covered up with snow.

Driving to work this morning icey road, coming to a tight blind bend the driver in front over takes the car if front of him slowly around the blind bend. At the same time the car in which he was over taking was swaying all over the road because the driver was trying to shut the passenger door properly. Amazing how stupid people can be.

Heading to work on Tuesday morning, driving up our street, about 4" of snow, following a slow moving vehicle (at a safe distance) with a bus about 3 feet of my back bumper. BAC.
