With the forecast calling for possible snow this afternoon and tonight in areas of Virginia, the Department of Motor Vehicles reminds motorists to clear all snow from vehicles before driving.
"Snow and ice on the roof, hood or trunk of a car can fall into the path of another vehicle, leading the driver to swerve in icy conditions, said DMV Commissioner Richard D. Holcomb, in a release.
Also, snow flying off a car can impair your view or the view of another driver. Taking a few extra minutes to completely clear your vehicle of snow and ice can help avoid traffic crashes.
