Snowy car nets driver ticket, photo-shaming from police in Kitchener
A driver stopped in Kitchener on Friday morning did a very poor job of clearing snow from the windows of their vehicle, police say.
Ticket for obstructed view carries a $110 fine, Waterloo Regional Police Service says
Police in Waterloo region are reminding drivers to clear all the snow off their vehicles after pulling over a car Friday morning because snow covered almost all of its windows.
"Don't feel like clearing snow off your vehicle? Well, it could cost you," police tweeted at 6 a.m., along with photos of the four-door white car that showed just a portion of the back windshield had cleared.
The driver of the vehicle was handed a $110 ticket for driving with an obstructed view.
Waterloo region had its first snowstorm of the season Thursday evening into Friday. Environment Canada is forecasting another 6 centimetres could fall Friday into Saturday.
