Please view the video below...quite scary, if you ask me.  There have been a few news reports on regarding this incident.  A Queensbury woman was nearly killed when ice flew off a tractor trailer into her windshield.

I was under the impression that there was a law "on the books" that demanded motorists clear their cars of ice and snow.  It turns out it was proposed by Tedisco years ago, and never came to fruition.  Needless to say, he is pushing for it once again, with the help of this motorist.

Does anyone honestly think that this law is going to hold? It is nothing more than yet another way to raise revenues for this pathetic state. To pay for their so called 'mandates'. Ya know...those government handouts.

Does anyone know anyone that drives a rig? Does anyone know or does anyone themselves work in the trucking industry? It would be absolutely impossible for any huge rig to remove ice from the top of the trailer continuously. And may I ask how these independents are suppose to do it? What do they do, hall a ladder around and stop every 10 miles during a store or ice storm to remove the snow/ice?

Gee, let's ask Mr. Golub to add more time to the driver's runs during the winter JUST so they can clean off their trucks. Another fine job NYS is doing to keep businesses in this state!!!

Sorry this happened to this woman but sh** happens. In case no one has noticed, we don't live in a perfect world and the government with their never ending new laws WON'T make it perfect! God, they aren't even making it better...they are making it worse!!!

...driving in the open road has some risks. You will never take the risk out of life completely.
