There are times when you shouldn't pass a snow plow.

The incident in the video happened in Canada.

I've come to the conclusion that if we want to defeat Russia, all we need to do is send them more cars. The population will drop to half in just one generation.

Yeah, that sucked.

And nice screaming dude.

If we declared war with Russia, this is what the motherships would look like:

After the war is over all the dash cam footage will be combined to make a war movie.

Never pass a snow plow, unless you're on an interstate highway

Let's make it a divided highway, and let's consider that road conditions do play a factor. Sometimes the plows are just salting the roads & the roads are just fine to quickly pass them.

Like uphill through a double line near a curve and with another semi is coming down the hill.

I bet the semi driver we hear was scared of driving for a while because of that idiot. You can really hear the fear in his voice.

My judgement of that would have been really bad in this case. If I were behind the semi that was forced off, I would have purposefully hit the other semi with a small overlap on the driver's side to avoid falling off the road. It looks like he was able to stop in this case.

Oh come on, looking far ahead is a good thing on the road. Anybody can see from miles away that the truck is attempting to pass the snowplow. That guy cannot drive. I am more scared of him then from that truck driver.

that's not a winter driving fail

That's winter driving fail!

I had to take a dump after watching that.

"Anybody can see from miles away that the truck is attempting to pass the snowplow."

I live in the area and have driven that same road north from Nipigon, ON. It has loads of turns and hills as it runs through part of the pre-Cambrian Shield, a very old mountain range. It is rare to have a straight flat section of this road 1 mile long, so it's actually hard to see very far ahead. Unfortunately, that means few safe opportunities to pass a slow vehicle, and the result is that too many people get impatient and just go anyway! Snowplows are especially difficult because they are wide and they throw a cloud of snow into the air, making seeing past them really hard. They DO pull off the road at special turn-offs from time to time, and the safest option is to wait for that. But too may people, including truckers, think they can't afford the time to wait.

But damn...he screamed like a little bitch.

I would, too. Fuck that semi driver asshole.

And by the time the guy with the cam realized what was happening there is no way in all of hell he could have slowed down on that road, while going down a hill. What sort of shit for brains passes a plow UP a hill while towing a load. It should almost just be outright illegal to pass a plow in any conditions.

While looking far ahead and anticipating other drivers' actions is a good thing, you're a dipshit for thinking that the camera truck is to blame. In what world is it ok for an 18 wheeler hauling a load to pass any vehicle, uphill, in the snow, on a 2 lane road? In perfectly dry conditions that would be an unsafe pass, it would probably take 30 seconds to complete.

A happy ending.
