In certain cold winter states it’s illegal to leave an unattended car running. I sometimes do so with the heater on high in order to be able to see once I get back in the car. I figure if I do get a ticket for unattended running vehicle, the cost would be much less than the price of an accident and/or human life. One would think taking the time to let the windows clear would be more important than the odds of some random person walking by when it’s 15 degrees F outside. (Roughly -8 degrees C, I would imagine.)
Must not be in the northern tier. It can be fun driving down the highway looking like a snow tornado as you blow off the two feet of snow on the roof. Plus, it is amazingly effective to keep tailgaters way back.
I just don’t get that. It drives me nuts if I can’t see all around. Scrape all the windows off while the car is running, you can see, and the vehicle is warmed up a mite…

Visibility is highly overrated.

If you see this guy coming, pull off the road.

That must have been the original meaning of the term ‘Blockhead’, from ‘Peanuts’.

Don’t worry, they’ll be clear by the time you get where you’re going.

What difference does it make. He’s on his cellphone anyway.

I passed a car on the interstate going about 30 mph that looked like that one, only it was a one-holer…

I won’t even hang something (like Rosary Beads) from my rear-view mirror, it doesn’t take much to obscure a pedestrian stepping out in front of you.

Just a tad illegal, although I have. Ever seen it enforced.

Stupid people like this occasionally try to run me off the road on the way to work.
