Remove the Snow and Ice on Your Vehicles to Avoid Tickets and Fines

Now is the time for Atlantic County motorists to make sure they have scrapers and brushes in their vehicles.

An amended law recently went into effect that requires motorists to remove all ice and snow from their vehicles before traveling on the roads. Violators face tickets and fines.

Motorists previously faced tickets if property damage or injuries occurred as a result of failing to remove ice and snow.

Fines for violating the new law range from $25 to $75. The fines increase to $200 to $1,000 when injuries or property damage occur. Commercial motor vehicle drivers face fines ranging from $500 to $1,500 for each offense.
