I have done this exact thing before, and I'm very sorry fellow drivers because I was born on a tropical island and I had never seen snow before. I truly thought nothing of it and just drove the car so long as I could see out the front.

Could you see out of the back?

So many Florida plates here in Chicago that dive around with the whole back and side windows covered in snow. We’ll, not this year because of climate change, but last year was terrible.

Pro tip: if you can’t see out of the car, don’t drive it.

It hardly makes a difference, it's not like they actually look even when they can see

It's not like ANYONE driving in Chicago looks where they are going. Ever.

o/ im a Floridian in HS who went through the whole process a few years ago. Snow was hardly ever mentioned on the learners permit test and wasnt even a concept when taking the actual driver's license 'drive around test' which is probably why nobody from here knows what to do. Genuinely my 11 year old brother could pass it in a week if I thought him. Floridians are also bad drivers anyways so that also compounds lol
It's weird driving on your own for literally 2 years and being a safer driver than people in their 40s who have infinitly more voting power than you.

Yes. At least that part had a defroster.

At least you have an excuse. So long as you learned for your second winter.

Too many people are just fucking lazy.
