In winter, it is important to clear all snow and ice from your vehicle.

Pennsylvania law says drivers must make reasonable efforts to remove accumulated ice or snow from vehicles, including the hood, trunk and roof, within 24 hours after a snow or ice event. Failure to do so can result in a fine of $50 for each offense, regardless of whether any snow or ice dislodged from the vehicle. 

When snow or ice falls from a moving vehicle and strikes another vehicle or pedestrian, causing death or serious bodily injury, drivers can be fined at least $200 and up to $1,500 for each offense.

Remember, state law also makes it unlawful to drive a motor vehicle if ice or snow on the windshield, rear window, or side windows obstructs, obscures or impairs the driver's clear view of the highway or any intersecting highway.
