Snow broke my wipers

Lots of snow forecast up and down the UK in the coming days so be prepared.

Too late. Not going to lie, had to nip out and it only started to rain. Tip: DON'T put the windscreen heating on if you don't have wipers...it bubbles up all the rain and makes it even worse when driving. Made it home in one peice. In fact, at a junction, I stopped and a massive peice of snow came sliding down my windscreen. That actually helped me A LOT as it wiped all the rain that built up away. The funny thing is I'm not winding you up, actually happened. Will try and fix tomorrow though.

So barely a day after I told you to clear the snow from your windscreen AND ALSO FROM THE ROOF, BONNET TAILGATE AND SIDE WINDOWS of the car and pointing out that it's dangerous and likely to get you into trouble with the police you go out without doing that and end up with a lump of snow going down the windscreen? What would have happened if it had done it whilst you were still moving?

It's not funny, in fact it's downright shocking and to be honest you shouldn't be on the roads because you're not fit to be.

I know, I will try to drive safer. I did stop a few times in my defense to manually move the wipers up and down to clewr the rain. But forgot to put my seatbelt back on and when the snow fell I didn't have my belt on. That was a wake up call that I need to safer on the road.

I smell a rat - nobody sets himself up for such ridicule like the OP has.

I'm just being honest. Why, not, I'm anonymous. But I understand the criticism and taken in on board.

Every day is half term during home-schooling lockdown.

Rain on the screen refracts headlights badly during the dark, but I doubt the OP thinks that matters.

No, don't try, DO. Stopping a few times to manually move your wipers isn't a defense, it's more incrimination as it clearly demonstrates you don't realise how serious of an issue it is. It is not only unsafe to drive a car without working wipers but it is also illegal to.

I think it clearly demonstrates he realises it is serious, why stop for a trivial matter?
