As the car gets warm, the snow at the bottom melts. Then the idiot parks it to do his groceries or whatever so it cools back down and freezes into a 2 inch thick block of ice. Then they drive on the highway. That block of ice breaks free, flies up in the air, catches in the wind while tumbling which gives it an unpredictable trajectory and smashes the windshield of a car that was unfortunate enough to be further back at that time.

I know because it happened to me. Had to get a windshield replaced in the middle of a road trip. The dipshit who caused it didn't even realize what happened and kept driving. The police should absolutely crack down on this instead of all the other petty bullshit they tend to harass people over.

That’s illegal where I live.

One time I left a (much smaller) snow helmet on my car. After a very mild stop at a stoplight, I instantly had a blocked windshield too heavy for the wipers to fix in-situ.

I was able to turn into a small parking lot without risk of hitting anyone/anything and clear it off.

Overall: 2/10, would not recommend.

It can be annoying and difficult, but it’s worth going the extra mile even if it seems like a small amount of snow.

“Fire it at the Tesla in front of me…” The animosity toward Tesla owners (or Prius or any other EV/Hybrid owner) is stupid. Why hate them?

Because the CEO of Tesla is a massive bastard? That’s not their fault. They may not have even known what a fuckhead he was when they bought it, nor should his behavior influence their car ownership. Plenty of good people work for Tesla too.

Or because they don’t support the gas/oil industry? That’s moronic. As much of a shit goblin Musk is, he holds no candle to the collective evil of the fossil fuel lobby.

Don’t hate someone for their taste in consumer goods. They’re just trying to get through life, same as you.

Now, if you wanna launch that snow drift at a “coal rolling” diesel pickup truck who is intentionally destroying the environment, that’s a different thing altogether.

Few times I've gotten to witness when someone brakes onto traffic lights and the uncleared snow from the roof slides onto their windshield and is too much for the wipers to handle.

I drive a truck myself and since the roof is a bit difficult to reach I got a brush with a telescopic handle and a rotating head that I can flip 90 degrees and use to push the snow down from the roof. Works great.

Not surprised that the picture was taken at a pump, that's going to be killer on the gas mileage

That's not how physics works, but I appreciate the thought.

Even if it wasn't super dangerous, I wouldn't be able to drive like this. It's like a giant sign that doesn't just say that you're lazy, but selfish.

No one commenting about this being physically impossible (unless the car in front is significantly slower/stopped)?

Lol, gotta observe that the minivan driver thinks they’re in some way superior to the targeted Tesla. They’ll keep telling themselves that as they’re picking the cheerios out of the seat cracks with dried rotten milk stains left by their kids. Got to keep your masculinity intact somehow by imagining your coolness.
