Murderers might actually get punished...
Dec. 27th, 2005 10:59 pmA deadly accident on a nearby road may create a new law: that drivers *must* clear ice off their car before driving it.
I have personally chased down a police car and yelled and screamed at him to clear his roof. I did this while the guy from the glass place was replacing the window on the Taurus.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
patrixa was driving, and Deb - pregnant with Justin at the time - was sitting in the passenger seat. Some ice slid off the roof of a van on route 2 in Arlington/Lexington/Waltham MA area. The only reason my mom didn't crash was because she didn't believe the window was really broken.
It didn't break through, but in this accident, it only took an 8" piece of ice to crash through the window (looked like it peeled back some of the metal as well), kill a woman, and injure her son. The 18 wheeler - like the van in the incident in MA - did not stop.
If you can't clear your car of snow or ice, don't drive it. It's that simple.
