Driver charged after being found with snow covered car

Wednesday, January 20, 2016, 12:48 PM - "Can't make this stuff up," is what a tweet read from the Ontario Provincial Police after posting a photo of a car covered in snow Tuesday. "Driver charged today in Brussels actually driving like this."

The photo shows all but a small pocket of the driver's side windshield completely coated in snow.

And we're not talking about a light dusting either.

According to police, the driver was pulled from the roads and charged for attempting to drive like this.

"The 80- year-old old driver from Brussels was charged with Drive - No clear view to front. He was stopped on the main street in Brussels," says OPP media correspondent James Stanley. "I understand it was supposed to be just a short trip around town. His excuse was he was too old and weak to brush off the full windshield."

Brussels is a community in Huron County that was hit by intense snow squall bands on Monday. Between 30- 60 cm of snow fell across parts of southern Ontario with this storm.

With more snow and the threat for squalls to persist through the week, drivers are urged to always fully remove the snow and ice from their cars. Not only is clear vision important for your own safety, but for the safety of other drivers out on the roads.
