That's just nuts. Handicaps and heart conditions etc. not considered.

Come on now - you're forgetting that people with handicaps and heart conditions should be able to get guv-mint money to help them wipe their butts. And besides that, you've obviously never been hit with a flying "debris" because someone failed to wipe.

Anyone who isn't capable of ensuring that their car is roadworthy has no business being on the road.

And I really don't give a sh!t what the Americans with Disabilities Act has to say about that.

If you can't clean the snow and ice off your car you shouldn't be driving in the snow and ice. That may sound harsh, but it's only reasonable.

And no this is not an unreasonable law. I regularly see people in the winter get in their cars having cleaned off little more than their windshield and maybe their side windows. They back out of their driveways despite not being able to see what's coming. They're a hazard out on the road due to their limited vision. And as soon as they hit the highway the 10 cubic feet of snow on their roof starts to fly off, creating a blizzard immediately behind them. The only thing that surprises me is if there is not some existing legislation under which they could be fined.
