A DRIVER has been reported by Wiltshire Police for having their windows obstructed by snow.
A spokesperson from Wiltshire Police Roads Policing Unit said in a tweet: “If you need to venture out in your vehicle in the snow, please ensure you clear the snow from your vehicle so you have a clear view.
“Unlike the driver of this car, who has been reported for the offence.”
Windows must be clear at all times for legal reasons so police can identify cars if motorists commit an offence.
