Today I was driving behind a woman who had a good 5 inches of snow on her car. She essentially got in and flipped on her windshield wipers. Thankfully she was only driving about 20 MPH, but if she had gotten on the highway, no one driving behind her would have been able to see a thing. LAZINESS IS NO EXCUSE FOR NOT CLEANING OFF YOUR CAR, EVEN THE ROOF! I've seen sheets of ice fly off of the roofs of cars on the highway and it can and will cause accidents. When you don't clean off your car, you're essentially telling everyone else on the road

I hope everyone takes that advice.
In January 1987,
my 30 year old younger sister,
walking to work, had to cross a 4 lane highway.
It was a white out blizzard that 5AM in January and dark.
She was struck by a guy in a mini van and dragged 500 feet caught on his exhaust system.:'(
Her neck was broken and back of her head road rashed to point of her brain sticking out.:'(
Oddly, she lived fully aware for some 4 hours and died on life flight.:'(
She left behind 4 small children.
The driver had only scraped a peephole like 8 inches big to see out his windshield to drive. 
He was an uninsured deadbeat with no assets and claimed he thought he hit a chunk of snow/ice.
So her kids got nothing.
OK
enough of my rant...
it still hurts and makes me so damn raging angry.
 PLEASE!
CLEAN YOUR FRAKING CARS AND CAR WINDOWS OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
