Mini rant....so be fore-warned
I dont know if it bothers anyone else, but there are a few things that really bug the crap out of me this time of year.
First, plowing snow across the road. Number one, it is illegal in MOST areas. Rarely do I push across the road. Rather push to the end of the driveway, get out onto the road and turn around, and push back up as I widen the approach. It seems too many homeowners (or hack-job "pros") like to push on across the street. Which I wouldnt have a issue with if they would at least clean up the spoils.:banghead: I hate those 4 or 5 "speed-bumps" left behind. Not only does it look very unprofessional, but is a liability too. Whoever plowed, even if it was the homeowner, can be sued if an accident happens as a result. And even worse yet, those who push piles out onto the road to let the plow-rucks clear it. IDIOTS. I just saw one today. The road was perfectally clear and dry, and then there is a big 4" deep pile kinda spread out where a homeowner cleared his drive. Whenever I see this, I usually drop my blade and throw it all right back in their drive:laughing:
Second thing.....
Proper transporting of the plow from one job to the next. ANGLE ALL THE WAY RIGHT. I hate having to pass an idiot when he has a 8'+ plow with wings and thinks its "cool" to run down the road with the blade straight....sticking out a good foot on each side of the vehicle. When you angle the plow, it occupies LESS space in the lane.:thumbsup: I dont like the game of chicken. And I really dont want to find out the hard way who's plow is tougher.:mur:
