A silly motorist was slapped with a fine for driving with snow covering most of their windscreen.
Police spotted the dangerous vehicle in the Basildon borough and stopped to issue the fine.
Officers are reminding residents to take extra care in the snow.
A spokesman for Basildon Policing Team said: "Whilst attending an incident in Pitsea and Vange officers came across this vehicle being driven with most of the windscreen covered in snow! This has resulted in the driver receiving a Fine.
"Please ensure that you clear your windscreen and windows before driving off so you have full visibility. This includes de-icing and demisting windows."
