The NLCRPD reminds drivers that they have a legal obligation to clear their vehicles window surfaces of any snow, frost, ice, or material obstruction prior to driving. The onset of winter driving conditions serves as a reminder to motorists of the need to clear your vehicles windshield and other windows of snow or ice before driving.
