Re snow on your roof.
It is NOT illegal.
However........
If some slips off either on to your windscreen or into the path of another vehicle you could get a £60 fine and points on your licence.
I am not a smart ar*e......it just came up on my google feed.

I must admit, I always thought it was the law (even though we tend not to do it anyway), but the highway code does just say the following:

Rule 229
Before you set off

  • you MUST be able to see, so clear all snow and ice from all your windows
  • you MUST ensure that lights are clean and number plates are clearly visible and legible
  • make sure the mirrors are clear and the windows are demisted thoroughly
  • remove all snow that might fall off into the path of other road users
  • check your planned route is clear of delays and that no further snowfalls or severe weather are predicted.

Good day from an unexpectedly snowy Paul. Another couple of inches last night. It's a beautiful morning.

Cycling plans now binned and will be heading out for a 5-6 mile yomp. Which direction remains to be seen. I'm thinking of hiking over to and up Great Hill though this is quite a trek.

Beyond this..........well there's always a trench to go and look at. This hole in the road is trending on the village FB page. Seems to be a competition to see who has the most boring picture of a hole in the road!!! :laugh:
There's a small sinkhole opened in one local road, near here.
