Make sure you clear off ice before you hit the road. “When you don’t, it poses an unnecessary danger to others.”
Drivers in North Carolina can be charged with failing to secure a load so if ice falls off and damages another person or their vehicle, it could be costly. Anything attached to a vehicle is the driver’s responsibility, so if it falls off, then it falls under the fail to secure load statute.
The penalty is up to $2,000 in fines and one point on your license.
