Motorists who are travelling with their cars covered in snow have left some locals fuming, with one man sharing a picture of a car windscreen which was covered entirely.
Ronnie Young shared the picture on Facebook, explaining the driver had been travelling near Colinton with a snow-covered roof before it dislodged.
The picture shows the aftermath, with the Mercedes driver left with only a small section on the right hand side to see out of.
Ronnie said the snow had slid down onto the windscreen as the driver braked, but it wasn't the only car he had seen travelling unsafely.
During a short trip along Lanark Road West, Ronnie said he witnessed four cars with "dangerous amounts of snow" on their roof overhanging the windscreen.
"Why do drivers insist on driving with the car/van roof covered in snow, I drove from the lights on LRW and by the time I got to the roundabout 4 cars passed me with dangerous amounts of snow overhanging the front window.
"The photo is a guy who braked on Colinton Village across from me yesterday, and this is a serious accident waiting to happen.
"And it's also against the law," he said on Facebook.
Police Scotland have issued warnings to drivers about their responsibility to clear snow from their vehicle before setting off.
Roads Policing Scotland took to Twitter to share a picture of a car with a frost covered windscreen after it was pulled over on the capital's Maybury Road.
And in Dundee, a shocking picture was shared by cops who were left in disbelief after catching one motorist travelling with only one small patch of his window clear.
Both drivers were slapped with dangerous driving charges.
What does the Highway Code say?
The code says drivers must clear snow and ice from every window of a car before setting off.
Rule 229 also dictates that drivers must:
- Demist and clear all mirrors
- Clean all lights
- Make sure their number plates are visible
- Remove all snow that might fall off into the path of other drivers
- Check your planned route is clear of delays and that no further snowfalls are predicted
