Wipe the Ice and Snow Off Your Certified Used Cars

December 29, 2008 | | Comments 0

You might think leaving the ice and snow on the hoods and roofs of your certified used car is safe, but it’s not. Just because you can see through the windshield doesn’t mean you should drive down the road. And now, a Pennsylvania law is going to make sure you clean off your certified used cars completely or else face consequences.

If you leave a large amount of snow on top of your car’s roof, you could face fines up to $1,000 if that snow and ice flies off your car and hurts another person.”When the snow comes flying off your car, it becomes a projectile,” said a spokesperson for PennDOT. The minimum fine right now is $200 and only applies if any damage is caused by the flying ice and snow.

However, some state legislators want to make it mandatory to clean off your cars completely before getting on the road. It’s like a preemptive law to help prevent any damages or injuries.

The important thing is to try and stay safe this winter and help keep others safe. If this means cleaning off the snow and ice from your Mercedes vehicles or any other kind of car you have, then so be it. We’re all in this life together and we should look out for each other when we can.
