Ice flying off cars injured at least three people in Maryland, including an Anne Arundel County sheriff’s deputy, prompting leaders to remind drivers to clear snow and ice from their vehicles to prevent further accidents.
This legislative session, Maryland lawmakers are considering the Clear Before You Drive Act (House Bill 474), which would prohibit driving without removing snow or ice, punishable by a fine.
Snow and ice is a bad hazard, especially on the highways, when you are going a high rate of speed.”Several drivers are already heeding the advice.
I’ve seen work trucks going down the road (with) hard sheets of ice flying off on (Interstates) 695 and 83.
The Anne Arundel County Sheriff’s Office wrote on Facebook: “This incident serves as an important reminder to all motorists: Please fully clear snow and ice from your vehicles before driving.
