Yahoo News Hapless driver pulled over for only clearing two eyeholes on frozen windscreen

A spokesman for Wiltshire Police said: "It is a legal requirement to have a clear view of the road ahead. When driving in adverse weather conditions you must be able to see out of every glass panel on your vehicle.
"Failure to do so is an offence for which you could receive a fixed penalty notice or be summonsed to Court - like this driver who was stopped by one of our roads policing colleagues.
"Please think before you drive - and help us keep everyone in our community safe."
It is unclear if the driver was arrested and charged.
