I'm needing to head out on Thursday, only thing i can think is to let the car warm up and take the worst of it off but not the very bottom layer.

I can understand why they are doing it, I clear my roof every time I get in! I learned my lesson last year using a brush, and paid Polished Bliss some monies for some stuff to remove the plastic residue. I just use either my hand, or my scraper which is one of those you stick your hand inside, so it works a treat!

If this is true then the police will be booking every other driver on the road at the moment!

And what depth is acceptable? 1 inch? 2 inches? And should you stop every half an hour when it's snowing to remove any snow that's landed on your roof since you last cleared it?

Sounds like a load of snowballs :smilewinkgrin:.

(I never clear my roof btw, scratchy scratchy :hand:)

Best way to clear snow is to accelerate to 70 mph and wait for it to slide off in one huge lump on to the fast lane of the A1 ;)

Just shows you the power of the net, Stathclyde had to release a statement to say its bollocks.

Nah, inside is slow for muppets, OAPs, traffic officers and slow lorries.

Middle is for people with foglights on, reps and lorries going 1mph quicker than slow lorries until they give up over taking after 10 miles.

Outside lane is for Audis, BMWs and Vans travelling 1 foot from your rear bumper.
