The porthole one defies belief. Even if he was just moving from one parking place to another.

How hard is it to push loose snow off? Even if you have to use your hands.

A bit more sympathy with the second guy. When it's as exceptionally cold as in last few days it's easy to catch yourself out with moisture the wipers have spread re-freezing or screenwash that's not up to the task.

Second car is not an unusual sight, many drivers I have watched going past my house have had windscreens like that and are more worried about frozen road than seeing where they are going even if they can`t see the road

so its very common even though not many get caught..... luckily no one has been hit as pedestrians use the road as its clearer than path...

The driver must have had to scrape off snow to open the door, so why not the windscreen too?

I see that the driver is charged with dangerous driving, that's serious stuff,

They're far more liberal with their DD charges north of the Border.
