Tips/Techniques
Remember when swearing at bikes that you're the one driving the 3 ton death machine. It helps to keep things in perspective.
I know most of the 2 wheeled A**holes are out to make a political statement.
It does not matter what a machine weighs. I have had the experience in your province, of 10 of them riding abreast across both lanes. I laid on the airhorn for minutes til they could not stand it and let me through. My co-driver opened the door and booted one of them in the helmet as we pulled through the opened spot. I was proud of him.
 
Why aren't more of us in the shop instead of on the forum? One reason in Calgary is I have had to shovel 4 times today so far and probably should do it again. Here is the snow accumulation. For those out east it's not 3m but a foot is a lot here.

The first year we lived in “GHA” (Greater Hershey Area :) ) I shoveled the same drifted corner of our driveway 4 times so my wife would be able to get to the garage (garage was under the main living area and the doors were at a right angle to the sloped driveway down from the road). Drifting was up to 3’ deep, and IIRC I calculated that I moved 2,000 - 3,000 lbs. out of the corner plus another 500 lbs. off the driveway.

Immediately after Christmas we brought a snow blower that could maneuver the steep driveway. I only used it a couple of times that year as it turned out a local farmer would make before dawn visits to the homes in our little neighborhood with his backhoe (and you couldn’t get him to take even gas money).
