shawdreamer Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 its carrying an unsecure load technically, considering the weight that snow would represent and the danger to other drivers behind. beyond that its driving with undue attention or worse still and more apt imo Dangerous driving.

bronze4door Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 it shows lazyness on the part of the owner or of the car if they can't be bothered to clear the roof/windows/lights of snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smithyandco Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 got nothing to do with snow on your roof >>> Rule 229 ( highway code )Before you set off• remove all snow that might fall into the path of otherroad users means that your windscreen needs to be clear ..thats all Read that bit then...perhaps your common sense will come back!Read the FIRST few pages of The Highway Code... If there is a MUST in the sentence/paragraph it means it's the law.If there is not a MUST in the sentence/paragraph it means it's recommend, NOT law. Therefore, under Rule 229 you are not legally obliged to remove snow from the roof of your vehicle if it does not hamper your vision or the visibility of your number plates and lights. That said, Police will simply class it as something else to get around The Highway Code in order to prosecute road users."Unsafe load" for example...

wwwd Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 The bottom line is the Police have quotas for the amount of fines/points they need to dish out every month. So you can either give them an excuse to do you or make sure you won't get in trouble. So it's down to personal choice really, you know the possible consequences.

Craig855S Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Someone printed this off at work and put it on the notice board, it was from telegraph online i think, and it had a quote very similar to this one A number of forces have dismissed as an urban myth claims that they were dishing out fines. But other forces have now admitted that they could take action for either dangerous driving or driving without due care and attention — or because of rule 229 of the Highway Code. (Cant get times quote since you have to pay for times online) But it said the police would only prosecute it if was proven to have caused an accident. My car had abnout 5 inches of powdered snow on it when i drove the short distance to work last night, none of it fell off, but i cleared it off during my shift so the car was spotless for the way home (not because im afraid of being pulled, just because i wanted to see my car again) IF that 5 inches had blown off whilst driving it wouldnt create an accident, it would have blew off in dribs and drabs and made the roads no worse than they are now!
