Police are reminding people to clear snow from their vehicles after a video makes the rounds on social media showing a driver trying to brush snow on the 401 while driving.
O-P-P Sergeant Kerry Schmidt says the video, which was posted on January 23rd by CityNewsToronto surfaced online this week, highlights how dangerous it can be to leave home without clearing snow from a vehicle, including from the roof.
The video shows the driver of an S-U-V moving slowly in a lane of highway traffic with the window down, trying to clear snow from the windshield with a brush.
The video was taken on the 401 westbound near Yonge Street.
Schmidt says the incident could have had tragic consequences, and he advises all drivers to safely pull off the road to clear a windshield.
You can face a 110-dollar fine under the Highway Traffic Act for failing to have a clear front and side view.
