Blasting a snowblower at traffic. Rude or what?

[bif]

I was driving home after dropping my daughter off at school.. There's this guy using his snowblower at the bottom of his driveway and he blasts my car with snow. Absolutely no concern for traffic. I almost stopped the car and got out to yell at him. Is he a total asshole or is it just me?

1. he's an asshole; it's just like running a lawnmower next to traffic

and then throwing rocks at cars. it's his responsibility to be aware of where the stream of snow from his snowblower is going...

2. Well, it depends.

He very well may not have realized until you had already gone past....those things are really loud. If he did see you but just didn't care, then obviously he very well may be an a-hole. :P

4. It was a mini one

I couldn't even hear it when drove past him. But i did hear the snow slamming into my car. And it's a busy street so he knew there's a fair amount of traffic coming by.

8. Well in that case, it was just rude.

:D

5. I'm always looking out for traffic

I mean, if there is snow out, vision may not be 100% crystal clear... so, I don't take chances with possible oncoming traffic. So, I'm always very careful about things like that. If I do blow snow out into the road, I then go out into my street & blow it back onto my lawn - I tend to do a bit of the street anyhow, as I don't want to come home to a big mound of snow blocking my driveway from the snowplow.

3. It's against the law in most places to shovel snow into the street

What a selfish asshole.
