A new law will require drivers to give more room to snow plows

Governor Whitmer has signed a bill that requires drivers to keep their vehicles at least 200-feet from an active plow. Van Buren County Road Commission managing director Bret Witkowski says 200-feet is about 13 car lengths and he says the distance can close in very quick if a snowplow is only going 20 to 30-miles-an-hour. It is also illegal to drive within 20 feet of a stopped snowplow at an intersection.
