It’s a cute meme but please don’t do this irl. This is how peoples’ days (and sometimes lives) are ruined.
I did this once just to drive 2 blocks on totally empty streets. After 30 seconds, I had my passenger open the window and see if I was good on their side. Shit was terrifying. I can’t imagine doing it on a legit commute. You gotta convince yourself you’ve got 8-inch solid unobtainium plot armor to do that.
You have to convince yourself its ok to murder a pedestrian, my friends grandpa hit someone at a crosswalk that way, luckily they were ok and kept on walking but its always better to let your car get up to temp and defrost the windows and wipe down the side windows and mirrors
Every winter, I'm reminded of what driver vantage points some people think are optional. Half the windscreen and none of the other windows cleared? Good to go. It really explains what we see on the roads the rest of the year.
It takes only an extra minute or so to get from this point of scraped off to a safe amount of the windshield scraped off. And honestly the couple of times I was lazy about it I ended up saving no time because I spent longer at stops plus was late anyways.
