Remove all snow & ice from your entire vehicle. You need to see clearly AND you do not want to have chunks of snow or ice wreaking havoc on drivers behind you. #MARoadSafety Additionally it is illegal under Ch 90 Sec 13...$40 fine pic.twitter.com/ybjMCXjcG1

In a tweet, police reminded drivers that it is a $40 fine for the dangerous violation.
Bedford, N.H. said a car windshield was shattered due a driver who didn't remove snow and ice.
A 17-year-old was driving on Interstate 293 North near Manchester when a piece of snow and ice flew off another driver's car and landed on his windshield.
"I am sure that most of us have had some near misses (at the very least) and that was enough to scare the living daylights out of us. It is the law, folks!," Bedford Police said.
