A driver was issued a citation in Richmond Hill on Friday morning after they were spotted travelling down the road with their windshield fully obscured by snow.
Police say that an officer stopped the vehicle in the Bantry and Bayview avenues area at around 9:30 a.m.
The driver was then issued a $85 fine for operating a vehicle without a clear view.
