Not sure he broke any traffic laws in OH, but he should be out of a job for sure. Zero reason for that to happen. Earning every penny of that moderator paycheck. DBAP

This is one example of why, whenever possible, they will stagger multiple trucks, one in each lane, and throw the snow from left to right. When doing so, the trucks can drive at a higher speed, too. If multiple trucks aren't available, and one plow has to clear the left lane, they should clear it to the left, but at a much lower speed than this jacka$$ was driving.

I guess the other thread about NY being low on drivers is true! There were signs all over IN saying that plows only drive at 35 mph and give them some room, this clown looks like he was going 70!

Jim you have to figure that his speed only dictated how far to the left that heavy snow was being thrown into the oncoming lanes that were hitting it at whatever speed THEY were going in the opposite direction. Like someone dropping a barrel's worth of it off of an overpass on you as you went under it a 65 MPH. And seeing as you can't compress a liquid it didn't matter that much that is was slush with most likely ice chunks, road debris, etc., mixed it. Why was he throwing it onto the road on the other side anyway???? It's like shoveling your sidewalk onto your driveway then shoveling your driveway BACK onto your sidewalk DUH.
