The Ontario Provincial Police shared a photo of the vehicle on Twitter Tuesday. He was caught driving a auto encased in snow, except for a small section on the driver’s side window.

The photo shows all but a small pocket of the driver’s side windshield completely coated in snow.
We can sort of see the logic, but the Ontario Provincial Police didn’t agree – they charged him with driving with an obstructed view, and fined him $110 (£77.61). “I can understand his excuse was he was too old, too weak to brush off the snow”, police spokesman James Stanley told the Associated Press.
The OPP said the vehicle was pulled over earlier in the day near Brussels, Ontario.
An 80-year-old is paying the price after police say he cut corners clearing the snow from his vehicle.
Western Region Sergeant Dave Rektor says this is risky for both the driver and other motorists.

“Can’t make this stuff up”, wrote the OPP. “Driver charged today in Brussels actually driving like this”.
