The number of clowns in Canada who drive around after clearing the minimum amount of snow necessary to drive their car and see out their windsheild. Beyond lazy
The worst is when the back window is covered with fluffy snow and you can see that there’s a rear wiper. Like all you have to do is press a single button but apparently that is too much.
When that stuff dislodges on the highway it’s not like your car getting hit by a snowball. It’s like having an entire wheelbarrow full of snow hit your car all at once at 50+ mph. Just the weight of it can KO your entire windshield. It’s a super effective way to make someone crash.
Also, it’s not always just snow. If the snow on your vehicle sat there through a couple of freeze/thaw cycles, there can be a big sheet of ice underneath. If that goes through someone’s windshield it can kill them directly. If you live in a snowy place, pretty much everyone you know has a story about the time they almost died because some asshole was too lazy to clean off the roof of their SUV, or because a huge sheet of ice flew off the top of a semi-trailer.

Lived in Massachusetts for a decade, it ain’t just Canadians lemme tell ya
Anywhere there is snow there is people too negligent to clean it off properly.

That’s clearly a Canadian spy car. They have a button that drops the snow to disrupt bad guys following them.
Its not just canada, its anywhere that gets snow regularly. I’ve lived throughout the northeast US and there’s these idiots everywhere.
And then there’s this guy…https://globalnews.ca/news/6377799/bc-rcmp-want-to-talk-to-driver-about-questionable-snowmobile-transportation/
As indicated in the article, this feels like a very Alberta solution to no truck
That’s me, I’ll carry around hundreds of lbs of snow on the roof and fenders of my Wrangler for weeks.
So they’re saving time.
Any negatives?
I guess it might be annoying to drive behind someone with a roof full of snow falling on your windshield.
Yeah. You can kill people.

Why do you think this is unique to Canadians? Americans do it, Europeans do it.
Don’t throw shade when you’re guilty yourself lmfao
Given they’re posting from lemmy.ca they’re probably talking about the country they live in lmao
Crazy how you just assumed that they aren’t canadian and that they don’t remove ice/snow from their car, if they have one
Maybe in some parts of Europe, but this is illegal where I live. Punishable by fine or loss of license depending on how severe the coverage is.
This is illegal everywhere.
