    You get out at a truck stop, the storm is past now, and you see that your license plates are covered up with snow and ice. Do you scrape it off or leave it the way it is?

    Scrape it off.. And while I'm at it check all the lights especially on the trailer.

    It depends if you want the witnesses to know your license plate number.

    Scrape it off if you are going to continue on.

    Scrape it; why give the police a reason?

    When driving in snow, mud, or dusty conditions I always do a walk around at every stop to make sure my load is secured, the tires and hubs are good, and to clean off all the lights. You and everyone around you are safer if your lights are clearly visible.

    I'd feel horrible if there was a crash and was told I didn't see you, and your lights were covered in snow or dirt
     
    Woodys and snowlauncher Thank this.

    Say you were planning on taking the toll road around Austin because it's five p.m. in a few miles. Would you still uncover that license plate?
