Clear Off Your Car, It’s The Law

As a winter storm drops snow across the state, drivers are being reminded to clear snow and ice off their cars before getting on the roads.

Under Jessica’s law, drivers who violate the law face fines of $250.00 dollars to $500.00 for the first offense, and up to 1-thousand dollars for subsequent offenses.

Jessica’s Law was passed after Jessica Smith was killed when ice from a tractor-trailer hit a box truck that ended up hitting her car.
