One often sees a car, after a heavy overnight > fall, driving along the highway with snow streaming off the roof > obscuring the vision of following drivers. In Ontario it is an offense snow and ice has accumulated in a manner that would pose a danger to other motor vehicles on the highway if the snow or ice were to fall or slide off. I am not sure a layer of powdery snow blowing off the back would warrant a charge. A bigger problem is snow and ice on big semi trailers. When those things are cruising along at highway speed there can be huge slabs of ice that shake loose, get picked up by the wind, hover in the air for a moment and then fall on vehicles behind. It is hard for drivers to get up on top of trailers to do that. The roofs are no made to support people walking on them and a lot of companies forbid their drivers walking on top of the trailers. There have been some things built to scrape the snow and ice but they are pricey and need someone to operate them and to dispose of the snow and ice that is removed. It would be a costly venture for someone to offer for free for customers, and something most would not be willing to pay for. Personally, I keep a long way for tractor trailers in highways in the winter. |
