4 Independent & Free Press, Tuesday,January 12, 2010 Tooth Chatter By Cory Soal . . . Lend Me Your Ears Police issue reminder Clean your vehicle's windows before driving Halton Police remind everyone to clean off the windows in their car before they drive. Each year police respond to numerous collisions that are later deemed avoidable. Many of those investigated are determined to be caused by the driver simply not taking the two to three minutes to adequately remove snow and ice from their windshield, side windows and rear window to safely see in all directions as legislation requires. The short time it takes to remove snow or ice can be the difference from a safe commute to work to involvement in a collision which can include a further charge of No Clear View to Front, Side or Rear, even if the accident was not the driver's fault. The Ontario Highway Traffic Act states that nobody shall drive a vehicle unless the windshield and side windows afford the driver a clear view to the front and side of the car. Also the rear window must provide a clear view to the rear of the vehicle unless the vehicle is equipped with a mirror placed in such a position and maintained in such a condition to afford the driver a clearly reflected view of the roadway in the rear or of any vehicle approaching from the rear.
