Why does a truck move so slowly while plowing snow and spreading anti-skid?
A. The driver must adjust his or her vehicle speed according to various conditions such as heavy or wet snow, ice, or residential areas. If traveling too fast, anti-skid will not stay on the road. Before you decide to pass a truck, however, ask yourself, “Is this pass really necessary?” Passing a snowplow can be extremely dangerous. There is never a “safe” time to pass, but if you must, do it with extreme caution.
