OPP urging motorists to clear windshields

The Wellington County OPP are reminding motorists to clear the snow from their vehicles.

“With the winter weather upon us, frost and snow are a given. Please take the time to clear your vehicle of all the snow and to scrape the windows,” police state in a press release.

The release notes it is a Highway Traffic Act offense to drive a vehicle on a highway with the driver’s view obstructed. The penalty is a $110 fine and could be higher in a collision.

“So please take the time and clear the snow off your vehicle including the headlights and taillights,” police urge.
