Parts of the northeast U.S. just got hit with the first major snowstorms of the season- FYI for anyone in other parts of the world. And so begins another 4 months of driving amongst jackasses who think that as long as they clear the snow off their windshield, their car is streetworthy.
Listen, you fucks- I’m the guy driving behind you who keeps nearly ramming into your bumper because I can’t see your brake lights. Why? Because there’s snow piled so high on your rear bumper it’s blocking the lights! Why do you think your car has brake lights in the back? It’s so I can see when you’re coming to a stop and I don’t come barrelling into your backseat, which frankly is what I’d like to do. Then the cops would come and they’d ask why I hit you. “Because I couldn’t see his tail lights, officer. The stupid fuck didn’t clear away the snow.”
Oh- and that goes for your headlights, too, shithead.
And while you’re at it, as long as you can reach the top of your car, take a moment and swipe away that snow too. Otherwise it will come flying off in great big chunks while you’re tooling down the highway and land with a crash on my windshield.
Interesting, don’t the cops give tickets for that? They do here (ak). I’ve also seen a cop get OUT of his car, walk up to the car in front of him and huffily swipe the snow off of the car’s brakelights before walking up to the ditzy young woman’s driver’s window and giving her that “ah ah ah” finger shake, then get back in his car before the light turned green.
I always make sure to scrape off my headlights and tail lights, but I enjoy not clearing off my roof so that I leave a plume of snow in my wake as I careen down the road.
Most people forget to clear the snow off their license plate as well. When I was in highschool I got pulled over because the State trooper could not see my plates.
Thanks for doing so :D, that’s where I’m moving…Umm…errr, at least I THINK so (is that where Dallas is?).
I’m SO looking forward to never shoveling snow again. I’ve told my friends, I’m going south until I say “snow shovel” and the residents say “a Whuuut???”
When there’s frost on windshields, I always like seeing people who just scrape a little 2-inch square off right in the middle.
Because scraping the whole windshield is too much trouble.
:rolleyes:

There ya go! Cold, isn’t it?
I saw idiots this weekend crusing down thw street with their entire back window covered!!!
How in the hell does one drive without being able to see out the back window? Why is it so hard to clear the snow off your entire car?
It is not like we live in Atlanta where is snow’s so infrequently that people have no idea what to do. This is PA. It snows EVERY YEAR. You should have a snow brush, use it. And if you don’t have a snow brush, you are an idiot. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
I am not sure it is a technical term, but it is a small brush that one keeps in the back of the car to remove the snow from the windows before driving. Many times it will also have an ice scraper attached.
I was gonna bitch about this yesterday, but I thought about it and realized that complaining wouldn’t make me feel any better so I didn’t bother.
The last thing in the world I’d ever call for is even more traffic laws/codes/rules/regulations. I tend to like the way they do things in the Granite State, New Hamphire. But even with their motto Live Free of Die, as well as their lack of helmet laws, cell phone restrictions & nanny-state seat-belt codes - came this:
Following the death of 20 y/o .Jessica Smith, a proposed bill that said:
I don’t know what the outcome was.
Unless you drive a small car or live in a very rural area:
Common sense dicatates: Remove All Snow From Your Vehicle
If an 9 foot chunk of ice flying off a semi caused the death of 1 driver, it just a matter of time til it happens again - especially with the size of these Suburbans, Yukons, Expeditions and other SUVs increasing every year.
