Vehicle Laws - Dangerous Accumulations of Snow and Ice - Removal From Exposed Vehicle Surfaces

Summary

The law makes it illegal in Maryland to operate or tow a vehicle when snow or ice that could threaten people or property remains on exposed surfaces such as the hood, roof, windows, windshield, trunk, cab, or trailer top. Police can issue citations as a secondary action when stopping a driver for another violation, and fines increase with repeated offenses. Higher penalties apply if the violation contributes to an accident that causes property damage, serious injury, or death.
