Here in CT you can actually get a ticket for driving with snow piled on your car.

I think here in RI you can too, never seen it or heard of it being enforced though. Nothing better than having a big piece of frozen snow/ice blow off another car and hit your windshield.

when i was selling cars, we used a sno-rake for it... http://www.snorake.com/ really works well, and the dealer got like 2-3 winters out of a set(like 5-6 of them) for a lot with approx. 75 cars on the lot at a time

Has actually caused accidents here in PA. It's even worse when the mass amounts of truckers don't clean off their trailers.

just a note, how are the truckers supposed to get up on top of the trailers to sweep the snow off?

Ladders? It can be done. By law it's supposed to be done. Driving behind one who hasn't cleared their trailers off is extremely dangerous in winter when their are ice chunks or mass snow chunks involved.
