How often do you see folk driving off whilst still trying to wipe mist
off the inside? Not just inconvenient but dangerous.


True - like the people who cannot be bothered to clear snow off car
roof and/or bonnet.


I saw an interesting one this morning. We had no snow, but a bit of
sleet. Less than five miles away, there was quite a bit of snow.

Drive past a side turning in the town this morning. Quite a big ridge of
snow (with wheel tracks across it of course) at the line of a junction.
Clearly someone's roof snow fell off on braking, having travelled quite
a distance!


Yup, would have caused a loss of vision too as it came over the screen.
Probably the guy who posted saying he couldn't understand...


If you can't handle a lack of vision for the time taken to operate the wiper, you're not too good a driver.
