| Clearing Snow off the tops of Cars Before Driving | | I hope everyone is doing this, and if you're not - you need to! I know it is law in some states because it is highly dangerous to the car(s) behind you if you're driving with a snow-covered car top and suddenly it all slides off and lands on the car behind you. I myself have heard of one incident where a man was decapitated when a sheet of compacted snow slid off the roof of the car in front of him and came through his windshield. Also, just yesterday driving to work a minivan in front of me lost their roof-snow and luckily I was far enough behind them that it didn't affect me. I did have to run over the chunks, though. Lastly, my husband saw a car who lost its roof-snow and it landed on a Volvo directly behind them.
Clean off the snow from your cars, folks! | |
| | Oh dear...... | | I bought myself a portable car cover the other day as I don't have a garage to put my car in.Anyway it's one of those ones that looks kind of like a tent.You need to use tent pegs to secure it to the ground.Last night it got very windy,so I was outside at 1am taking off the detachable sides as it was moving around quite alot.I figured taking the sides of would make it more stable and enable it to withstand the wind.So at about 3am the wind settled down abit and I thought it would be ok so I went to bed.Well,I got up this morning and the darn thing was wrapped around my letter box lmao.Thank goodness it had as if it hadn't my portable garage could have ended up God knows where.It is now twisted and buckled and until I get a friend to look at it for me I don't know if it can be salvaged.That will teach me to make sure it is secured properly next time lol:P | |
