Pennsylvania bill would toughen snow-free vehicle rule
As state lawmakers put on a final push in Pennsylvania to approve bills before the regular session ends in about three months, one bill of interest encourages car and truck drivers to clear snow and ice off their vehicles.
State law enacted in 2006 allows police to ticket violators between $200 and $1,000 if the wintry precipitation causes serious injury or death. The bill’s passage was spurred by the death of a woman resulting from ice that fell from a tractor-trailer and crashed through her vehicle windshield.
