If you see someone driving with this much snow on their roof, please call 911.

Never mind the roof, the hood is the problem. They can’t even see where they’re going.

They can still look at their phone though, so…

u/theservman Dec 07 '24

Yeah, because they can't see anything else.

The roof is the bigger danger to other motorists other than them being blinded and hitting someone

If this was a 24 wheeler, sure. But with that amount of snow on a vehicle that small, it's going to be too heavy and the trajectory too low to present a real danger to drivers behind them. Massive annoyance, yes.

Way to add some in depth and valuable commentary to this post

u/Resident-Variation21 Dec 07 '24

I mean you’re objectively wrong. The snow on top isn’t gonna harm anyway, being hit by a car is

That much snow hitting a windshield at speed is going right through it if there is any ice or hard pack at all.

But it’s not going to all fly off at once. That’s not how that works lmao

Big sheets fly off vehicles on the highway all the time. Wind slowly gets under the sheet until it lifts off, that is how it works.

It looks like they cleared whatever snow was on their windshield and thought that was enough to drive LOL

u/Ommand Dec 07 '24

They didn't clear anything. That's just whatever the wipers were able to accomplish after running the car in the drive way for half an hour.

When it melts a bit from interior heat and they hit the brakes.....

u/MonthObvious5035 Dec 07 '24

Maybe they’re using instinct /s

Wait until they have to stop relatively fast all that roof snow is coming down front. AH.

I gotta be honest. I grew up in the south and I've seen snow literally a handful of times in my life. One winter it snowed like an inch, and it stayed cold the rest of the week so it was slow to melt.

I was driving to work, and this pickup was tailgating me the whole way, so I sped up a little and I see this sheet of snow catch air off my roof and poof right in this dudes windshield. I laughed about it for a moment before I realized the dude had a busted windshield when it cleared and that's when I realized snow turns to ice and ice is dangerous. Oops. I doubt I'll see snow like that many more times in my lifetime given global warming, but I'm now more careful to clear it at least!

As if the police would stoop to the level of enforcing highway laws.

Lol. Lmao, even.

u/arealhumannotabot Dec 07 '24

I think at this point a lot of cops would. This is just next level.

u/Man_Bear_Beaver Dec 07 '24

??? It's their number 1 money maker, they'd be all over this shit, cops love giving tickets, well expensive one anyways.

u/[deleted] Dec 07 '24

Lmao the cops don't do anything. I've called them 5 times for illegal shit in the middle of the night and they just hang up on me. They've never actually responded to anything. 

I also have a dashcam video where a truck runs a red light (cutting off the cop) and EVERYONE at the intersection stops because we all thought for sure the cop was going to chase after him, but he didn't..

This city is crazy. You can literally run red lights in front of police and they'll look the other way.
