Remove that $#@& ice off of your vehicle!!!!!

[Sanford]

I just follow far enough back (good old "two second rule") that there's plenty of room for anything that falls off the vehicle in front of me to hit the ground before I get to it.

Of course, that leaves an opening for others to cut across three lanes in the gap ahead of me - but that's all right, they can take the ice hits.

I just got visions of Vin Diesel driving under the exploding tanker rolling down the hill toward him in Fast and Furious 15.

Thanks for the spoiler warning, jerk......

I try and not follow very close too, but it is pretty unnerving to meet an 18 wheeler as an 8'x10' sheet of ice goes airborne. Although I wouldn't get up there and risk my neck to de ice it.

A guy I know was driving when this happened a while back:

Don't ****ing cry about it, don't be a *****, just clean your vehicle.

my thoughts exactly.... but at highway speeds, I try to get 4-6 seconds following distance....
If you're getting hit by ice debris, you are following way to close

IIRC, OKC was not icy at the time, the semi was just traveling through and it came loose.

it hasn't melted yet...

Right now, there is no state law requiring drivers to remove ice from the roof of their cars. That means if you're hit by ice from a passing vehicle, you are responsible for the repairs.

....from a few years ago? lol

Practice a safe following distance...also the news did a thing on this a while back with a OKCPD officer, he said if your vehicle is hit by ice peeling off of another vehicle it's your own fault. Law only requires the driver clear his windows enough for safe travel.
