New York lawmaker pursues tougher rules for snow-free vehicles

[Trucking News]

Concern about chunks of frozen precipitation falling off moving vehicles has led a New York state lawmaker to pursue legislation intended to improve safety on roadways.

There is absolutely no way in hell I am going to climb up on top of a trailer to remove ice. Simply not happening. That is a fall that could break your neck and kill you.

Here is a thought, stay the hell away from the rear of trucks who have been in icy conditions. I guess that would be too simple though.
