how can they plow a street full of cars bumper to bumper. If the plow went down them and side swiped every car they would complain about that as well. ---

The city sux. They totaled my 02 gmc truck and I had to pay for it because the plows are not liable for damage. I got a new duramax out of it but still i orderd my gmc and waited 6 months for the paint color.

That makes no sense, if theyre gonna hire people to pilot those huge fucking plows, make sure they can drive. I have to pay outta pocket if those idiots scrape my car? Fuck that, theyre completely liable for their inability to drive. ---

By law there are not supposed to be cars on the street after 7 or something. If I saw a street the I could barely fit down, I’d say fuck that. People need to shut the fuck up and think. Most people park in the street cause they don’t shovel the driveway. So when they try and ram their FWD cars up 2 and 1/2 feet of snow and they can’t they move back to the street. Fuck em. ---

> [@BillysRevenge](#): > > By law there are not supposed to be cars on the street after 7 or something. this is very untrue. people who live in the city HAVE to park on the street a lot of times. there are numerous houses on my block which don’t have a driveway at all. others have enough driveway for one car, and most families have at least two cars now. that’s why the city has parking on different sides of the streets on different days (alternate parking). with that being said, they did a piss poor job of plowing this year so far. i had absolutely no problems with the snow last year as they at least made an effort to get one swipe down the street within 24 hours of the snowfall. this year i waited until 11:30 pm on christmas eve for a plow to come down the street, at which point it plowed nearly nothing because it had been 50 degrees and rainy all day so most of it melted already. all they did was widen the streets by pushing about three tons of ice into everyone’s driveway, about 3 feet high, blocking us all in on christmas morning. ---

Fuck that, theyre completely liable for their inability to drive. 1. umm… some places there is no more than 6 inches on either side of the car to get down the road… 2. The roads are icy, and pretty hard to navigate 3. They are plow truck drivers… do you really think they are competent? ---

I don’t think it’s mine either…probably just those city streets that you can barely drive down during the summer let alone the winter ---
