i do now but about 3 years ago i was in a hurry, i didnt scrape anything off my car except a little peep hole...well that peep hole got soo fogged i couldn't see ****. At the time i was living in a rural area where the roads plowed last. so here im driving practically blind and i drove right off the road into a ditch...ah i was soo pissed... it was like -20 with nothing even close by, luckily i was able to drive out cause i wasnt quite all the way in..learned my lesson, and almost got kicked out of school class, that was like my 10th late in one month

This is so dangerous. One example from today:

A hydro crew had their truck surrounded by pylons as a barrier. As they worked, a car that was almost totally covered in snow, drove over the cones and smashed into the back of the truck.

One of the guys working at the back of the truck jumped in reflex, probably saving his own life, or at least his legs. He landed on the hood of the car, but seemed ok, obvi shaken up a lot. All happened in a split second.

But then it freezes over again because it doesn't have the blow dry like in the auto wash.

I see tons of cars everyday with drivers who don't bother to remove the snow off the roof. I was driving on the 401 this afternoon and there was a big pick up truck whos cab roof and box was full of snow. He was leaving a trail of snow behind him all the way up the highway. Moron!

of course i do. i hate it when ppl don't...instant white out for the driver behind them...jerks.

and i'm barely 5' so it's even harder for me to clean the roof. so everyone else doesn't have an excuse...they're just lazy...end of story. it only takes a minute to do.

If there's snow on top of the car you should clean it, I do. I hate when someones driving infront of me and they have a mountain of snow on top of their car and it's falling and blowing right onto my car. That's happend often on the highway where a huge chunk of snow flew onto my windshield and the idiot infront of me drives off not even realizing what he did.
