Off Topic 3 Points

[multijet130]

Anyone hear the story that from today onwards if you get stopped with snow on your roof you can get 3 points and a £60 fine for insecure load!

thats mad, you tried reaching the entire roof on a multipla?...just let the sun melt away the evidence

Well its not exactly hard to clear fresh snow off the average car,

Not only then "insecure load" issue but the visibility issue if you brake hard and it slides forward onscuring your windscreen or it flying off onto the car behind you and the excess weight affecting your cars stability when cornering....

I'm glad, i keep seeing cars with mountains of snow on their roofs, and it's really annoying! It either blows off like powder when they're doing 60/70 on A roads, or all falls off onto the road when they brake, making it slippier for other cars.

Police are gonna have a field day though..

"a post on Greater Manchester Police’s twitter page, said: “GMP doesn't have a policy to penalise drivers who leave snow on cars, but asks you ensure your roof and windscreen are clear.”

So how do you get the snow off the roof of a large van or lorry?

Not a bad idea.. fed up of cnuts throwing snow off their roof on my windscreen so i have to pull over and de-ice the windscreen again :bang:

annoys me as much as the idiots who clear a little gap in the middle of their windscreen and dont bother with the rest
