Is it dangerous to leave snow on the top of your your car? The answer is YES! Snow and ice are very heavy and when it falls off a vehicle, it can become airborne. Ice and snow can hit oncoming cars and easily shatter windshields, injuring people inside. If California Highway Patrol (CHP) finds a vehicle with excess ice and snow on it, the driver can be cited for the hazard. Be safe out there and avoid getting a ticket!
Truckee police donโt seem too interested in enforcing this law , just drive around Truckee a few days after a big storm. Makes sense to pull over these drivers before they get on interstate 80 .
But Truckee police really donโt have any interest in enforcement of Traffic laws .
