Well, let's define 'clear'. When I am in a hurry, I still poke holes more than large enough to see anything of interest when driving.
This one time, at band camp, I was out in the morning after a fairly large snowfall, maybe 6" to 8". I cleared off all the lights (always do, not a fan of hiding the lights on any vehicle), and enough of the front and rear windows to drive safely.... IMO. My wife, who was sitting beside me in the car and had nothing to look at except a wall of white in front of her, as well as the LEO, did not agree. They thought I did an insufficient job of clearing the snow. The LEO noticed me while he was tending to an accident and I was passing him (safely I might add): he gently signaled me to stop (read: Yelled to pull over!). Then he gently suggested I clear off somewhat more area of the car's glass (read: threatened to cite me if I did not clean both the front and rear windows of snow). What can I say- he was right. Then again, submarines plow around in the ocean using nothing but the commander's one eye and a lens on a stick, and my windshield clearing job was WAY better than that!

Idiots who don't clear their windshield, back window, or tail lights of snow and ice.
