A little more info on Keith's post.
Name: Jessica's Law.
Codification: NH RSA 265:79-b (Negligent Driving).
Purpose: The law requires drivers to remove snow and ice from their vehicles before driving on state roads, in response to a fatal accident involving ice falling from a truck.
Penalties:
First offense: Fine of $250 to $500.
Subsequent offenses: Increased penalties, potentially up to $500 to $1,000.
Background: Jessica's Law was enacted in 2001 after a fatal accident where a sheet of ice flew off a tractor trailer and hit another vehicle, resulting in a head-on collision with Jessica Smith's car.
