I totaled a car this way when I was 17. Would not recommend.

I was literally going to say that exact thing. Det er veldig slitsomt å kjøre i Troms :(

Good punishment. If you don’t consider this extremely dangerous you shouldn’t really be allowed to operate any machine bigger than a lego set.

In the U.S. you might lose your job if you don’t. One missed alarm.

Good luck.

I legitimately cannot imagine a scenario where you have time to clear this eye hole, but don’t have another 30s to clear the rest of the windshield. It’s pure laziness, regardless of how exploited your surplus labor might be.

But if you hit oncoming traffic you’ll still be late for work and also potentially kill someone and end up incarcerated for vehicular manslaughter.

Yeah but the US is fucked when it comes to the working situation and workers rights.

Sure. Though that doesn’t change the shittiness at all. It just represents the issue the loudest, and one that occurs in more places than just the U.S.: Abysmal working conditions and shitty bosses. Forgive me for pointing out something I think everyone already understands, though we are part of a global economy. To create effective change we should also act as a global force to promote those changes.

In a perfect world, at least. Sadly, problems on our own doorstep takes away a lot of energy to do just that.

My first car didn’t have a blower in the air conditioning system. It worked off of convection. The first winter I drove it, I’d roll down the window and stick my head out into the weather.

Pro-tip: you don’t have to defrost a windshield if you walk, bike, or take public transit instead.

I usually just spray a lot of washer fluid on it.
