Clearing your car roof is legally required and crucial for safety. Ice and snow can slide off onto your windscreen during braking, or detach at speed and hit following vehicles, causing serious accidents and obscuring vision for others.
According to German traffic law (StVO), you must clear all windows (front, rear, and side), headlights, rear lights, indicators, and the number plate. Additionally, all snow and ice must be removed from the vehicle roof to prevent hazards.
Driving with only a small 'peephole' cleared in your windscreen, which restricts your full visibility, can result in a fine of up to 60 Euro in Germany. It is considered a traffic offence as it significantly impairs your ability to react safely.
No, according to the German Straßenverkehrs-Ordnung (StVO), it is prohibited to let your engine idle unnecessarily to warm up your vehicle or melt ice. This wastes fuel, creates noise, and pollutes the environment. You must actively clear your vehicle instead.
If ice or snow falls from your vehicle's roof and causes an accident or damage to another vehicle or person, you can face a fine of up to 120 Euro, and potentially higher penalties if significant damage or injury occurs. This is a separate, more severe offence.
By completing Ice & Snow Clearing, you will gain stronger rule knowledge, faster recognition of signs and situations, better decision making in traffic scenarios, and increased accuracy on exam style questions used in Germany. These outcomes directly support higher scoring exam performance.
