KANSAS CITY, Mo. (WDAF) — To clear or not to clear? That is the question some of you may be asking when removing snow from your car’s windows, roof, trunk, and hood. Kansans were recently impacted by a major winter storm, with many seeing 12-18 inches of snow. That snow is still on the ground even as KSN's Storm Track 3 weather team tracks the latest Winter Weather Advisory that is in effect for many counties through 6 a.m. Friday: Winter Weather Advisory as of 5:08 p.m. So, is it legal to drive with snow on your vehicle in Kansas? Yes and no. The law specifically says, “No person shall drive any motor vehicle with any sign, poster, or other nontransparent material upon the front windshield, side wings, or side or rear windows of such vehicle which substantially obstructs, obscures, or impairs the driver’s clear view of the highway or any intersecting highway. No person shall drive any motor vehicle with a damaged front windshield or side or rear windows which substantially obstructs the driver’s clear view of the highway or any intersecting highway.” Leaving snow on your roof, hood, and trunk is not illegal, but it helps you and others stay safe on the roads. Clearing your roof will keep snow/ice from flying into cars driving near/behind you. Clearing your hood will prevent snow from flying into your windshield while driving. In addition, heavy snow/ice can affect your car's center of gravity, impacting your car's handling/stability. The law does require every motor vehicle to have windshield wipers to remove rain and snow; each wiper must also be maintained in good working order. The most important thing is that the windshield is totally unobstructed.
