Your car is covered in snow and you wish to take it for a drive. Do you:

1. Clear the snow off your windows so that you can see clearly in all directions?
   
2. Clear the snow off the signals/headlights/license plate so that they can perform their normal function.
   
3. Clear the snow off your hood/roof/trunk so that large clumps of it don't fly off and hit other vehicles.

The correct answer is, of course, all of the above. But you wouldn't know that to see all the mobile igloos driving down the freeways this morning. One guy had brushed off half of his windshield, half of his rear window and the driver's side window. That's it. He blazed down Crowchild this morning in front of me, leaving a white trail of ice and debris like Halley's comet. I'd post his license plate number here except it was behind a miniature snow drift on his back bumper. I couldn't even tell you what kind of car it was. I did see the odd pocket of beige through the glacial crust.

Folks, I know this crap is all going to be gone by Sunday, but could you please clean your car off now.

You clear all the windows, the roof, the hood, the trunk, sides and any lights covered. You clear off all the snow. 1. so you can see 2. so you don't have your vision disturbed by flying snow. Everybody else is just fucking lazy. It only takes 2 seconds to clear your car.
