Don't forget to fully clear your windows before you set off.

It's not the first time Dorset Police have hit the headlines for their tongue-in-cheek videos. In August last year PC Conroy and Special Constable Borrill and Special Constable Jason Cox became internet sensations when their 'dad dancing' antics were filmed at Camp Bestival.
Dorset Police Assistant Chief Constable Mark Cooper said at the time: “By engaging with members of the public in this way, we hope it will build relationships and encourage young people in particular to run to us when they’re in danger, rather than be scared of the uniform.”
