    Most people don’t do this for some reason but you really should be removing snow from your hood and roof already. I’m not sure what Michigans laws are but in my state if a chunk of snow/ice flies off my car into somebody else’s vehicle while driving and causes an accident or damage (cracked windshield, whatever) then that’s my fault and can be cited and my insurance will have to cover the other drivers damage.

    It’s pretty common to see the big contraptions out here to pull crap off the top of semi trucks/trailers for this very reason.

      People are just lazy. Most wouldn’t scrape the ice off the windshield if they thought they could see through it
