Blew my airhorn at a State Snowplow

I spent a couple of season for Caltrans clearing Donner, Stupidity of drivers around plows , knows no limits. I have had drivers pass me then (without chain when required) then get mad cause I would not stop to pull them out, Covering idiots with a shower of snow kind of is its own rewards.

 

If you think you are always in the Right of way, compared to emergency vehicle's you are wrong.
I always blow airhorn at kids who give the armpump.

 

Yeah, me too. all for the kids.

Your right the right of way goes to the Emergency equipment. Sometimes a plow will need to maneuver into a place to clear something, Do they alway do it right, probably not, but they are also trying not to shut down the road, when maybe they should of.

 

I personally have a lot of respect for plow drivers. I’ve talked to a few and I can promise you it is not an easy job. Up here they used to do a 16 hour shift then quit for 4 hours and pull another one. Since they couldn’t keep up they dropped the 16 hour limit. That’s when the guy I talked to quit. I always try to remember they are probably very low on sleep and just trying to get through the next shift. Especially when you know they’ve been out for a long time.
