> The person who told me about the law literacy said it was about making sure your windshield was clear before driving because a little girl was hit by someone looking through a little hole in the snow while trying to drive. Seemed pretty plausible to me at the time. Thanks for helping me know different.

I mean, it may also require that you do that, but the main thing here that the cops will care about and will fine you for is what's on the roof.

And if you ever get pulled over by a statie with snow on your roof, you're NOT getting out of that ticket. The staties in NH are known to be pretty lenient, especially for NH plates (I'm not making that up), but they do NOT give you any wiggle room with Jessica's law.

I get it. Ignorance of the law is not a valid excuse for not following it.

I originally replied snarkily and apologize,

In fact I think you're original thought (ie peeping through a hole in windshield being dangerous) is way more valid than the roof/snow law that cops look out for.

It’s all good. I truly appreciate the guidance. Things are different here than out west. It takes a little bit of time for me to adjust, but I sure love it here.
