FLORENCE, Wis. (WFRV) - Officials in northern Wisconsin are reminding drivers that passing a snow plow truck on a double yellow line is illegal.

In a video shared by a Florence County Highway truck on Thursday afternoon, a driver is seen speeding around a snow plow on U.S. 2 over a double yellow line with oncoming traffic on the other side.

The Florence Sheriff's Office has identified the driver and will issue citations.

"Slow down and take the time in extra winter weather," the post said.

The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) says that it is illegal to follow a snowplow closer than 200 feet on any highway with a speed limit of more than 35 miles per hour if currently performing any snow removal.

WisDOT says that a snowplow is legal, but must be done carefully; however, the Wisconsin State Legislature says that passing any vehicle on a solid double yellow line is illegal.

According to WisDOT, 17 snowplows were involved in fatal Wisconsin crashes from 1984 to 2004. WisDOT added that no official data regarding snowplow crashes since 2004 has been recorded.
