Snowplows And Driving Safely

Winter is now in full swing and Snowplows on the roads and highways are traveling on all roadways through out the country. Taking time to review safety facts and cautions for drivers is
Very important to keeping drivers and snow plow operators safe.

Follow these rules to stay safe:

Be sure to always yield to snowplows. They travel slower than the posted speed limit and usually Slower then the traffic around them.

Always give snowplows extra space to maneuver and do their jobs. Snowplows can often make turns, u turns, lane changes and suddenly slow down without to much notice.

Avoid passing snowplows unless it is truly necessary and safe enough to do so.
Never try passing on the right or through a snow cloud. The visibility is very low and will almost lead to an accident.

When passing a snow plow remember the road usually is more treacherous then the roadway behind the plow.

It is important to remember the snowplow blade is wider then the a snowplow itself anywhere from 4-24 inches wider, the extended edge is very hard to see when hidden by snow discharge during use.

On rural and narrow roads these blades take up more than half the roadway.
Be Patient, alert and maintain a safe distance from the plow and other drivers. There are just to many avoidable accidents during snow storms which sometimes have to do with lack of understanding and lack of assessment of a situation that may put you in harms way.
