J.S.A. 39:4-77.1):

🚗 Drivers must make all reasonable efforts to remove accumulated snow and ice from exposed surfaces of their vehicle before driving, including:
• Hood
• Roof
• Windshield & windows
• Trunk or rear
• Lights and mirrors 

👉 Simply clearing a small patch to see out the windshield is not enough — you need to clear the entire vehicle’s surfaces that could pose a hazard.
