I think the best approach is to simply drive appropriately. If you've recently had a heavy snowfall or freezing rain, expect that some of the vehicles on the road with you are going to be shedding sheets/chunks of snow/ice.
I certainly don't expect every driver of every cube van, box truck, and semi-tractor trailer to climb up atop their icy rig and risk their neck scraping off ice and snow. Some of those tractor trailers have more surface area than my driveway! Heck, I don't even bother brushing off the top of my car, and I can reach that. It'll blow off the first time I hit 30/40 mph. And in the case of ice/freezing rain, what, I'm supposed to take an ice scraper to my car's body? Yeah, sure, that'll be great for the paint job. Get real. Open your eyes, keep your distance, and learn to drive in winter weather.
1) Show me where it specifies that in any law book.The worst is when box trucks do this, and it flies off on the highway in huge icy chunks. I think it's actually illegal most places - you could cause a serious wreck that way.
1) Show me where it specifies that in any law book.
2) I drive a 4wd F-150 crew cab pickup with a topper on it. Fully 15' of roof area, 7' off the ground. You are more than welcome to come clean the snow off it.
If you don't have time to see the snow/ice fly off the roof, and react appropriately, YOU are following too close and I don't give two hangs if it hits your windshield.

If I bought the truck, it wouldn't be a Ford. It's my work truck, that I am required to drive for my job.How about this law.

Yes it is illegal in most states.
You bought the truck. You are responsible for cleaning it off.

You know that "show me the law" bit was nothing more than rhetoric.
These things simply don't apply if you are more important than everyone else.

In finland, if the police gets you with an Improperly/insufficiently cleaned car, it's an automatic 180 euro fine. sadly the checks are too rare, so a lot of people don't care.....
cleaning your car, especially in countries like finland, where it snows a lot, is part of driving responsibly.
Noone cares if there is less than half an inch of fresh soft snow that will blow off in a bit, it's the morons that drive around with sheets of several inches of packed wet snow that endanger others.

over here they have special gear to clean the top of the big rig trucks and most smaller worktrucks get parked inside during the night.
The fine a big rig driver gets for not cleaning the snow/ice of the top of his rig is very very nasty.
Plus, you will probably appear in a nationally read newspaper so the entire country can know what an ässhole you are.
I really love that the police have the power to do on-the-spot license revocations for gross violations and there is no court involved nor appeal possible. Plus, you will probably appear in a nationally read newspaper so the entire country can know what an ässhole you are.
Over here cops can shoot you right between the eyes if you look at them funny. There is no court nor recourse nor accountability. But the newspapers tell everyone what ******** they are.
