Doesn't do much other than move the snow around so you can drive through it.
Any meaningful snow plow should get the snow OFF the driveway. That stuff
was the light fluffy stuff that you don't even need to plow to get through
it. Try it with heavy wet stuff, the kind that if you don't get it off the
driveway it packs down each time it is driven over and turns into ice ridges
which are impossible to drive on without sliding all over.

Yeh, Wait till he hits some tough snow and the 2x4 running back to
the hitch breaks and launches itself up through the floor boards or
off to the side and lances a tire or some poor bystander.
The world is infested with morons.
