About Snow, black ice and winter tyres: clearing, driving style and the chain rule: which statement is WRONG?
- Winter tyres are not mandatory in the Netherlands; they do give more grip below 7 degrees and on a snow-covered road surface.
- In the Netherlands the use of metal snow chains is banned; plastic snow chains ARE allowed.
- You clear windows, lights, mirrors, roof AND number plates; you are already liable to a fine for insufficient sight through the windscreen OR the front side windows.
- ✓ During snowfall you may simply use full beam at night for better sight.
Correct answer: During snowfall you may simply use full beam at night for better sight.
Explanation
Do not use full beam during snowfall, you get blinded by the reflection of the light on the snowflakes; full beam is already banned during the day anyway
