Why do so many people refuse to do this?!?!? In another day or 2 all that frozen snow will be flying off in chunks, hitting the car behind it. Makes me crazy how many cars I saw this afternoon with the roof packed with snow - don't people realize?!

So happy you said this! Not brushing/cleaning off your roof is one of my biggest pet peeves. I firmly believe that people should be ticketed for this. It is so incredibly dangerous, especially when it freezes, as you said! Grrrrrr!

I thought cars can be ticketed for this.

And this snow is sooo much heavier than the snow we've been getting.

Thank you for posting this! I was driving home getting so frustrated. You have snow hitting other cars as it flies off and I saw a few cars where the snow just slid down and they couldn't see out their back windows
I believe you can get ticketed for this but I'm not sure police actually follow through

PLEASE clean the snow off the roof of your car!

Normally a huge pet peeve of mine but I gotta say, this winter I'm having a huge problem w/ a big preggo belly getting in the way. I just can't get to the middle of the roof of the car and I feel like shit that I can't do it.

I don't understand how people can drive without brushing off their windshields! How do they see out the back??

Re: PLEASE clean the snow off the roof of your car!

this is a ticketable offense…..though it falls under some other sort of language.

My DH said he writes this ticket every single time he sees it.

It's so annoying! Coming home today there was a minivan in front of me that had no joke 6 inches piled on its roof. I was so annoyed just seeing that.

I say this all the time! If I can climb holding the oh shit handles on my truck and clean off the entire roof, so can everyone else. It drives me insane. DH does this. And I yell at him all the time for it

I just did this too and I have been in the house all day and def not leaving until tomor. I had to climb on the snow to reach the top of my SUV while holding the ski rack...yet I still did it. I cannot stand when people are so selfish and endanger others.

THANK YOU!!!! I hate people who leave it and let is slam into other people's windshield and view. It takes all of a couple of minutes to take it off.

I love this post! I hate when people do this, especially on small cars! There is no reason you shouldn't clean off the top of your freakin honda civic!

To piggy back on this post - Please PLEASE don't forget to turn your lights on in inclement weather - rain, snow, sleet, etc. It is so difficult to see cars w/o their lights on when there is poor visibility and so many people forget that this is a law.

My scrapper/brush extends just for that reason....if I didn't have an SUV it would be even easier. Get them at Home Depot.

Re: PLEASE clean the snow off the roof of your car!

I'll always do this!! One time when I was younger & lazy, I didn't... as I was stepping on the breaks all of the snow on the roof slid to my front window. I couldn't see anything!!! Luckily, no cars in front of me and I stopped and I removed it. So scary.. This IS a ticket now!!

I'm 5 foot tall and have a mini van and am 6.5 months pg. I can't do it. I do what I can but it's not a ton. I'm not trying to be rude, it's just pretty impossible!
