Norfolk OPP want all drivers to completely clear their vehicles of snow and ice before they hit the roads.
With all the snow we are expected to get this weekend, Norfolk OPP would like to remind drivers to take a minute to clear your windows before hitting the roads.
Snow and ice on your vehicle can impair your vision and create more blind spots.
It also happens to be illegal. Section 74 of the Highway Traffic Act states the following.
"No person shall drive a motor vehicle upon a highway (a) unless the windshield and the windows on either side of the compartment containing the steering wheel are in such a condition as to afford the driver a clear view to the front and side of the motor vehicle and (b) unless the rear window is in such a condition as to afford the driver a clear view to the rear of the motor vehicle."
Items hanging in your rear view mirror can also obstruct your line of sight.
Constable Ed Sanchuk would like to remind drivers to make sure everything is clear, before you put your vehicle in gear.
"Visibility matters and taking those extra minutes could mean the difference between life and death. The ability to see clearly out of your vehicle is vital to safe driving. After all, if you can't see it, how can you avoid it?"
