"In control" does
not mean "making the other guy do what you want him to do."
It means knowing your options -- can you stay where you are, should you change your course,
how should you change your course, do you have an escape plan if things go wrong, etc.
The plow was behind this joker for a
long time. He had plenty of opportunities to adjust. He could've even parked himself in front of one of those parked cars -- the plow can't hit him there unless it was driven by a psychopath, and it may have even shielded him from the slush & snow a little bit.
But noooooooooo... he had to pull the advocate-gone-militant crap and say, effectively, "I can be here because the law says so, so **** you and **** your plow!"
