1. What is your opinion on the subject?

A) Awesome way to penalize someone for being stupid and/or lazy which could have deadly effects.

Being from Michigan, I find it a great law. Its not just a hazard to not clear your windshield. When snow piles up on top of vehicles and people drive down the roads, it leaves a trail off the car for the first 5-10 miles that will white out the view of people behind the cars. Following a big storm this happens on 60-80% of vehicles driving down busy highways. It contributes to already bad conditions from poor roads and possible white outs from high winds and drifts.

However, given that I have been deployed some where near the equator since the beginning of October, this winter has been pretty favorable.



2. Does your state/country have a law about this already?
Yes they do but not enforced.
3. If yes, what is the penalty?
Ticket and fine. I don't believe points.
