IMO, your friend was just being picky.
Having the end of a drive plowed in by the street is just the nature of the beast if you manage to do your drive before the street is clear.
Now I dont know if things are different in developments, but along any street where the city, state, township, etc are responsible for plowing, they certainly arent going to angle the blade to avoid a drive. If they did, they would be pushing snow onto the other side of the road. And if there is a drive there??? They would end up with a big mound of snow in the middle of the road:confused2: And most state/city trucks dont have angling plows anyway. At least not hydraulically.
In Vermont, I deal with it all the time! I take care of my driveway, move my vehicles around (I have a 2 car garage but have 3 cars, a tractor, motorcycle and my antique car in it) I get done, clean off the tractor, salt the walkway from the house to the garage and hear it EVERYTIME...... The darn town truck. I swear he waits for me to get done. All the hard work is almost ruined. I move the cars around again, get the tractor out and clear the end of the driveway. I clean the tractor off, put the cars back, go in get my coffee and warm up a little.
I never get mad at the driver, in fact I always wave when I see them as to say thank you for staying up all night and cleaning the roads. I have even bought one guy a coffee when I saw him at the local Dunkin Donuts just for keeping the roads safe.
