OPP officers with the Quinte West detachment also posted a photo to Twitter on Thursday night.

“Quinte OPP stopped this snow covered vehicle last night,” they tweeted. “Please remember to remove snow and ice from your vehicle before driving. Obstructed windows and blinkers as well as flying snow/ice poses a danger to all drivers. This can result in collisions and charges.”
