BRAINTREE (CBS) – There's a summer-like twist on the tendency for some New England drivers to hit the road without clearing the snow off their windshield.

Braintree police said on Thursday that they caught someone who was "driving with a sun shade over the window and was peering out the top."

This afternoon a motorist was cited for driving with a sun shade over the window and was peering out the top.
