Waterloo Regional Police have issued a warning to drivers, urging them to properly clear snow from their cars after the season’s first major snowfall.
On its Twitter feed, the police service posted a photo of a vehicle that was pulled over at around 1 a.m. Thursday near the intersection of King and Frederick streets.
Police say the driver was issued a $110 fine for driving with an obstructed view after having cleared just a small portion of the rear window on his car.
