🚨True or false?🚨

In the state of Michigan. It is illegal to drive with snow and ice piled on the roof of your car? ☃️🧊🚗

What do you think?
A - True
B - False

Good job people, the answer is True:
We’ve all seen it happen while traveling down the highway: a sheet of snow and or ice suddenly falls from the roof of a nearby vehicle, sometimes hitting or nearly missing your vehicle or someone else’s car. When this happens with semi-trucks or other large vehicles, it can be especially dangerous.

Under MCL 257.677a(2)-(4), it is illegal for snow, ice or slush to fall into either the roadway or the shoulder in such a way that a motorist’s vision is impaired. The statute says a person shall not:

“remove, or cause to be removed, snow, ice, or slush onto or across a roadway or the shoulder of the roadway in a manner which obstructs the safety vision of the driver of a motor vehicle other than off-road vehicles.”
“deposit, or cause to be deposited, snow, ice, or slush onto or across a roadway or the shoulder of the roadway in a manner which obstructs the safety vision of the driver of a motor vehicle.”
“deposit, or cause to be deposited, snow, ice or slush on any roadway or highway.”
What it boils down to is this: remove the snow and ice from your vehicle before driving. Make sure there is nothing on your vehicle that may reduce your visibility. Make sure there are no chunks of snow, ice or slush on your vehicle, which can easily become a hazard if they fly off your vehicle, causing an auto accident and injury to you … or someone else.

We're receiving reports of a recurring scam in which callers pose as deputies or officers of the Kalamazoo County Sheriff's Office or other local law enforcement agencies. The scammers claim the names of actual officers and demand immediate payment to prevent imprisonment or fines.

As a reminder, local law enforcement will never contact you by phone to demand payment, bonds, gift cards, or other financial arrangements to avoid imprisonment or penalties. Immediately hang up and block the caller's number.

If you were deceived and lost money as a result of this scam, please contact the Kalamazoo County Dispatch Authority at (269) 488-8911 to file a police report.
