Default Why do people clear their driveways of snow?

There appears to be a good legal reason not to clear it. When you clear a
driveway of snow you are accepting responsibility for keeping it clear to
enable safe access over it. If someone consequently slips on it and is
injured then they may have a claim against you. On the other hand, if
you've made no effort to clear the way then the onus is on them to take
care. Or so I'm told.


And a cleared driveway becomes way more slippery than if left alone.


Not if you drive your car over it a few times.
