Must be so hard to reach that.

A real stretch

Darwinism. We need to bring it back.

This person needs a SnoBrum. I'm not even 5'4" and easily clean my car's roof with one given it extends.

Lazy fucking people

Seriously. I would probably take literally 30 seconds to get that off

What a chungus

Jessica's Law. If they catch you driving with snow on your roof, you get fined 250-500 bucks.

It should be at least $2,000 per violation imo.

Should be $250 the first time and then 30 day license suspension after that.

This shit literally kills people and the only reason not to resolve the danger is laziness.

Call it in. License plate is legible

I thought that was just the windshield. It’s the whole car?

My truck is almost 8 feet tall and I still get the roof. These people are assholes.

I spent 35 mins Monday morning getting the 5 inches of ice/snow off my work van. It’s about 9-10 feet tall. I think this asshole can take the 30 seconds.

Time to slow down to stop pull em over and wipe it off for them. While shaking your head saying what a dumbass repeatedly to them.

When did that go away?

whole car, yes

Tar and oil’s a bit expensive right now, but I have used crisco. My neighbors have chickens, so I have feathers covered too. If anyone has a few pitchforks handy, we’re good to go!

Even a cheap push broom works.

I have a question about the Jessica’s law, js it all snow? Or if it’s just a light fluff of like half an inch is that okay?

Anything. Fluff snow ice are all water that solidify with wind or dry night cold and turn into sheet grenades.

Okay thank you, I was told not fluffy snow won’t get me in trouble but I was suspicious that wasn’t true

Windshield…? How…never mind I don’t want to know.

Fluff turns into a big blinding cloud when it blows off. And it can stick to the windshield of the car behind you. Clean it all off.

Anything that "endangers or is likely to endanger any person or property". Snow, unsecured loads, inattention, you name it.

Modern medicine has removed almost all evolutionary pressure upon human life.

And worse yet, LBJ started our government to provide evolutionary "anti-pressure" upon human reproduction in the US, by subsidizing the poorest to have more bastards.

What if I throw a ratchet strap over the top of it?

So what if you throw a ratchet strap over the snow and tie it down?

yanks straps three times That’s not goin’ anywhere!

Riding ass coverage IMO. 🤣

Even the shortest midget could get that with a snow broom or extendable snow brush.

Meh. I just moved here from a place that never gets snow. Someone told me it was the windshield when telling me the law existed. So I was a little surprised to find that it was more than that.

I have no problem with it, I was just given some bad information and learned some facts. It’s nice there’s a place that can happen.

Ok, cool. That’ll be handy to know.

Little chungus energy

That’s what she said

This one makes me far more mad than usual because to leave this much crap on there you have to be INTENTIONALLY lazy.

The law exists because of a tragedy where ice flew off the top of a vehicle and went through the windshield of the car behind and killed someone.

So it's related to windshields, but it's about the snow on the roof far more than the snow on the windshield.

Like, these cars are "economy" sized and are rarely more than 4' tall anyway. If you're capable of driving, you can reach that roof to clear it off.

Wow, that’s terrible. I used to drive trucks and ice falling off the top of the trailer was always a problem. As a driver, you have no way to even know it’s up there until you see it falling off in your mirror. Clearing off the top of the car makes sense.

The person who told me about the law literacy said it was about making sure your windshield was clear before driving because a little girl was hit by someone looking through a little hole in the snow while trying to drive. Seemed pretty plausible to me at the time. Thanks for helping me know different.

This is an example of the information problems in trucking, as well. Lots of truck stop BSing leads to drivers not understanding what the actual law is. Someone said it and it made sense, but I didn’t think to look it up, kind of thing.

I mean, it may also require that you do that, but the main thing here that the cops will care about and will fine you for is what's on the roof.

And if you ever get pulled over by a statie with snow on your roof, you're NOT getting out of that ticket. The staties in NH are known to be pretty lenient, especially for NH plates (I'm not making that up), but they do NOT give you any wiggle room with Jessica's law.

Or a step stool, or if somehow you're stuck somewhere where you don't have those, there aren't many parts of New Hampshire where you can't find a stick.

I get it. Ignorance of the law is not a valid excuse for not following it.

Usually they won’t pull you over for something like a quarter inch, but you should still clean it off because they could get you in trouble if they wanted to. I had one friend leave some snow on (she’s really short and didn’t have any tools to wipe it off since she had to throw her old one away) and she didn’t get pulled over but she doesn’t make a habit of it. Another person I know legit got pulled over for like a half inch (he’s just a lazy asshole). Really depends.

I think you have to tug on the strap and say "that's not going anywhere" for it to count.

I have a friend who is a NH statie and he shows no mercy when it comes to snow on the roof, he said that he has seen too many accidents related to it .

In defense of the car, they're more like five feet tall and quite comfortable inside! But your point stands. I'm tall but not unusually so and I can clean the entire roof of mine with just my arms. There is no defense for this driver.

now that's an idea I can get behind, and thus get covered in snow

I originally replied snarkily and apologize,

In fact I think you're original thought (ie peeping through a hole in windshield being dangerous) is way more valid than the roof/snow law that cops look out for.

It’s all good. I truly appreciate the guidance. Things are different here than out west. It takes a little bit of time for me to adjust, but I sure love it here.

It's just a sharkfin, like in Formula 1. Provides yaw stability in high-G turns.

If snow few off a roof and hit that person's car all hell would break out. people are soft as grapes

Wait wait wait...you thought the law was about getting the snow off of your windshield? Like, they needed a LAW for that? You thought that the law was to solve the problem of people having their windshield covered in snow and they were driving...sightless?

First mohawk I've seen in a while.

People are so lazy it’s unbelievable. How hard it is to remove the snow.. the only excuse would be someone who literally disabled IE wheel chair bound. And they look at you like you’re the jerk

I find it quite amusing that you seem so upset by me not understanding just how stupid people might be when writing laws.

Yes. I thought someone had to be told to clear their windshield before driving. This is based on prior experience. Like the need for a warning label on a cup of coffee stating it’s temperate nature. Or the warning on a hair dryer not to use it in the bath. Or the warning on a silica packet letting people know it isn’t a tasty snack.

Or any of the laws in California, from where I escaped.

Don’t get me wrong… I don’t need these laws. But I see how they get passed. I’ve been here 47 days. Try to unwad uour panties.

Upset? Ah, the deflection technique of the stupid (and of course adding in that everyone else, like law makers, are stupid).

Don't mistake my incredulity as me being "upset". Flabbergasted for sure, gobsmacked no doubt, but why would I be upset?

No idea. That was what came across here. 20 years of living in California has made me fairly immune to being surprised what lawmakers will do. Frankly, I wasn’t surprised at all to find that people even here needed to be told to clear their windows.

He wanted that extra downforce in the corners

Lol I couldn't agree more with you. That guy literally blew a gasket because you asked a question for clarification. Hope he doesn't represent the average person in NH.

Everyone gets to have a bad day. I hope that’s all it is for him.

Everyone here has been extraordinarily nice, especially compared to California. I mean, except for the workers at Manchester Firing Line. Those guys were pricks. Lol.

Agree. I just moved to Manchester about 2 months ago and all my neighbors and people I've met have been quality human beings. It might just be that people on the internet, and especially reddit, tend to be dicks

Should start a NH subreddit to post morons on the road, but a registration state and number is required.

I would be onboard, but Reddit might not like that.

This is the kind of chaos I love to see introduced in the world 🤣🤣

I'm pretty new to reddit, but I'll dive in.

what next?

1% of driver's last year's gross income, or $500. Whichever is higher.
