The Regional Police are reminding motorists that winter driving requires extra patience, care and attention.
Snow removal – get it all off or face the possibility of a $110. ticket
While speed limits are set for ideal road conditions, safe winter driving requires slower speeds, increased following distances and a clear view of your surroundings.
In Halton Hills, police estimate 10% of commuting motorists are not taking the time to clear their windows of ice and snow. It is the driver’s responsibility and legal requirement to ensure all windows are in such condition as to afford a clear view to the front, sides and rear of the motor vehicle.
By taking the time to clear your view, you are limiting the risk of being involved in a collision and at the same time promoting road safety and leading by example.
Traffic safety is a continuous concern for our communities and a priority for the Halton Regional Police.
Officers will be focusing on these infractions and unsafe driving habits and will be enforcing section 74(1) of the Highway Traffic Act requiring drivers to have a clear view, a fine of $110.00.
You can get a pretty good snow scraper for that kind of money
