Central Saanich Police issued a $173 ticket to a driver Tuesday for an “insecure load,” after about a foot and half of snow was left on the rooftop of an SUV in the region.
Police are calling on drivers to remove accumulated snow on their vehicles before they hit the road.
Experts say accumulated snow on vehicles poses dangers for other motorists as it blows off your vehicle. There is also potential for the snow to slide down from the roof to your windshield and obstruct your view.
