There’s snow reason to speed during winter storms.

Chilling dashcam footage captured the moment a driver in upstate New York crashed nearly head-on into a snowplow after trying to pass another truck.

The plow was driving along a two-lane road in the North Country region when the semi-truck’s headlights appeared ahead with a black sedan riding alongside it.

The passenger car — squarely in the plow’s path — desperately tried to speed up and overtake the semi-truck, but couldn’t gain enough space in the slush and snow on the narrow roadway.

it’s interesting that the owners of the practical, boring Subarus are at least 90% liberal.

That’s exactly they way it is around here. It’s a running joke with my son and me.

BMW drivers too. Entitled A-holes.

Yep. Should never try to pass a moving snowplow. You are never sure just what’s ahead of the plow. If the plow is moving slow, he may be getting ready to turn or make some other maneuver. Give them room; you can always be thankful for having done that later.

I don't get these people who think they can speed in snow.

I DON"T either... but I do understand some folks have to "Live & Learn" in order to obtain their "Life Lessons"

The best we can do is try to steer clear of them whenever possible.

I watched it 3 or 4 times and my first thought was I wonder if the semi truck and trailer ran over the car AFTER it hit the plow?
