Oh, and here's a rant I haven't seen yet: cars covered with snow.

I mean, c'mon! It's amazing how many cars I see motoring around still covered in snow! I don't care what the car is, there shouldn't be snow on it! Not on the hood. Not on the trunk. Not on the roof. All this snow magically disappears from your car in a few days because it flies off on the highway! It either comes off gradually, blinding people behind you while you create your own personal blizzard or it comes off in chunks while probably killing the nun driving behind you or something. Semis are even worse.

I didn't have as much ground to complain on before when we only had the Corolla, but now we have a Sienna minivan with a permanent roof rack that is a PAIN to clear, but I do it anyway.

The other thing is people with snow on the hood. If you wouldn't drive with your hood unlatched, you shouldn't drive with two feet of snow on it either! And the hood is easy to clear off! EASY!

Probably the worst thing I've seen is a student leaving Holy Cross College in Worcester, MA... the whole car was covered in about a foot of snow, with the exception of a 3' x 3' hole in the windshield for her to see through.

Get the snow off your car!
Get the snow off your car!
Get the snow off your car!
Get the snow off your car!
Get the snow off your car!
Get the snow off your car!
Get the snow off your car!
Get the snow off your car!

I think it should be illegal to not sufficiently clear your car of snow/ice before driving it.

My family's first German Shepherd was killed because a teenager only wanted to clear a 2 x 1 ft "window" in the frost on his windshield. My father was jogging with him along the side of the road, the dog on the inside. So I have a personal problem with inconsiderate jerks.

Absolutely.

Oh man, that stinks. That just stinks.

Driving without visibility is driving impaired... I don't know why people do it.

I suppose people drive drunk, too, though...

It is in PA, I would love to see someone get ticketed for it.

On a side note, I've solved Maryland's tax shortage problem-make using turn signals, snow buildup, etc. a $200 fine.

I seriously need to get a dashcam rigged up down here, the beltway is crazy

All you need to know about New Jersey is that it's free to drive into the state, but they collect a toll when you decide to leave.

I am glad I don't get to drive in it much.

It is bad enough waiting for the E300 to get up to temp when it is 27 dF around here. The lovely Ms engatwork tells me how much she likes the seat heaters in the 05 E class.
